Text lIt' s a time when school, homework, active social lives and part-time jobs keep teenagers (少年 ) busy from early in the morning until late at night. They are likely to try to make up for a lack of sleep by "sleeping in" on the weekends. Unfortunately, this causes irregular sleep and actually makes the problem worse.Most teenagers are not able to fall asleep until late at night. Since many teens aren't sleepy until around 11 p.m., but need to be at school by 7: 30 or 8: 00 a. m., they cannot get enough sleep. During puberty(青春期), the biological clock in the brain naturally re-sets to a later time, and this causes teens to fall asleep later. Then, when it' s time to get up, a teen' s body clock is likely to still be producing the night-time hormones(荷尔蒙). This makes it hard for them to feel active and energetic in the morning.A growing body of research suggests that starting high school later improves attendance, achievements and grades. A few years ago in an important study, test scores on the SAT college entrance exams in Edina, Minnesota jumped more than 100 points on average, when the morning school bell rang an hour later. Unfortunately, most schools are not set up to start later and fail to satisfy teen's sleep needs.21. What effect does "sleeping in" on the weekends have on teenagers?A. Improving their health.B. Weakening their energy.C. Disturbing their biological clock.D. Making up for their hormone loss.22. The study in Minnesota shows that starting morning school one hour later helps to________.A. make teenagers grow fasterB. change teenagers' sleep needsC. do more research on teenagersD. improve students' achievements23. The text helps us to know more about teenagers'A. daytime activitiesB. sleeping habitsC. mental problemsD. studying methods【参考答案】21．C【精析】细节题。

2015年高考英语真题分类汇编：专题16-阅读理解之科普类说明文-Word版含解析专题十六阅读理解之科普类说明文1.【2015·湖北卷】DThe oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled （芭蕾）dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air,return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.63.What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?A. Deciding on a proper sleep positionB. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bagC. Seeking a way to fall asleep quicklyD. Finding a right time to go to sleep.64.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when _____.A. the y circle around on their bikesB. they use microcomputers without a stopC. they exercise in one place for a long timeD. they watch a movie while pedaling65.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because _____.A. their senses stop workingB. they have to stand up straightC. they float out of their seats unexpectedlyD. whether they are able to go back to the station66.One of the NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is _____.A. how much exercise they do on the stationB. how they can remain healthy for long in spaceC. whether they can recover after returning homeD. whether they are able to go back to the station【解析】试题分析：这是一篇说明文。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Five-year-old Elia arrived at school with a big box of colored pencils. Her friend, Anna, offered to exchange her set of markers for the brand-new pencils. Elia agreed, but soon discovered that the markers were dried up. ―That‘s not fair!‖ cried Elia to her teacher. ―I want my new pencils back.‖ After some tears and negotiation, the teacher helped the girls set things right by returning the items to their original owners.Later that day, at story time, the teacher shared the picture book classic A Bargain for Frances. Though the conflict in the story is just over a broken tea set, the message about fair play was not lost on the children. The book was helpful in exploring a small, yet significant, life lesson.Stories are vital to the way we process and experience life events and the feelings that surround us. The ability to create, share, and respond to stories is one of the vital characteristics of being human. In fact, the human brain is programmed to see patterns and become fascinated in the plot development of stories, finally storing them in long-term memory. As a result, the brain is a remarkably effective processor of stories, both real and fictional.High-quality pictures books are a good blend of art and literature that attracts kids‘imagination and communicates an idea in an effective way. These books are perfect teaching tools, as they deal with the powerful emotions that kids feel, model effective coping strategies, and present complex concepts in appropriate ways. In addition, according to brain research, the picture in books are distinctive from the fleeting images kids see on television in that they remain on the page, ready to be revisited, touched, and commented upon.Whether we share stories about families, historical events, or emotions, stories are a way to sum up life‘s memorable moments and lasting lessons. We can control the power of literature and use it to develop positive character in young kids by reading often, choosing suitable books, and enjoying stories together.26. Elia cried ―That‘s not fair!‖ as she thought that she was ______.[A] cheated by her friend. [B] defeated by her friend.[C] ignored by her teacher. [D] scolded by her teacher.27. A Bargain for Frances is intended to teach kids how to ______.[A] play fair in life. [B] organize things. [C] win in conflicts. [D] write a message.28. According to the text, stories can help kids ______.[A] realize their potential. [B] improve their memory.[C] concentrate on reading. [D] understand the human world.29. In comparison with pictures in books, television images ______.[A] are frequently commented on. [B] stay temporarily with children.[C] blend art and literature vividly. [D] communicate ideas effectively.30. The power of literature can help kids develop their ______.[A] positive character. [B] interest in history.[C] passion for stories. [D] learning strategies.Text 2We have heard a lot about the health benefits of tea, especially green tea. It is high in polyphenols, compounds with strong antioxidant activity that in test-tube and animal models show anti-cancer and heart-protective effects. Good clinical studies are few, however, and although physicians tell their patients to drink green tea, there hasn‘t been any definite proof of the value of that advice.A team of Japanese researchers was able to link green tea consumption with decreased mortality frommany causes---including heart disease. The researchers tracked 40,530 healthy adults ages 40 to 79 in a region of northeastern Japan where most people drink green tea, following them for up to 11 years. Those who drank five or more cups of green tea a day had significantly lower mortality rates than those who drank less than one cup a day. There were also fewer deaths from cardiovascular disease.But no such association was seen with deaths from cancer. Nor was consumption of oolong or black tea connected with any decrease in mortality. Those teas are easier to be combined with oxygen in processing, which not only darkens the color of the leaves and changes their flavor but also reduces their polyphenol content.Coffee is more complicated. It has received both gold stars and black marks in medical literature. It, too, contains antioxidants, although they are less well studied than tea polyphenols. Evidence for the health benefits of coffee is growing, however. A group of investigators from Finland, Italy and the Netherlands reports that coffee seems to protect against age-related decline in mental capacity. The scientists studied 676 healthy men born from 1900 to 1920 and followed them for 10 years, using standardized measures of brain function. Their conclusion: the men who consumed coffee had significantly less decline in mental capacity than those who didn‘t. Three cups a day seemed to provide the most protection.Population studies like those help us form assumptions about relationships between dietary habits and long-term health. We still have to test our suppositions in controlled conditions, and measure the effects of coffee and tea on various systems of the body.31. Physicians often tell their patients to drink green tea because ______.[A] its medical value has been proved. [B] it is believed to be good for one‘s health.[C] it has long since been used clinically. [D] its effectiveness has been shown in animals.32. The Japanese study seems to have confirmed the positive effect of green tea on ______.[A] young adults. [B] Asian people.[C] patients with cancer. [D] patients with heart disease.33. The text indicates that black tea differs from green tea in that ______.[A] it can retain the color of its leaves. [B] it can reduce cancer-related deaths.[C] it contains less polyphenol content. [D] it is stronger in flavor than the latter.34. Coffee is beneficial to one‘s health because ______.[A] it has more antioxidants than green tea. [B] it slows down the rate of brain aging.[C] it lowers the rate of natural mortality. [D] it keeps systems of the body active.35. The text indicates that the relationships between dietary habits and long-term health ______.[A] are a falsely perceived supposition. [B] are a conflicting issue among people.[C] deserve further scientific research. [D] deserve to be tested on a larger population.Part BDirections:Read the texts from a magazine section called ―Letters‖in which five people wrote about online shopping. For questions 36 - 40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A - G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Jennifer:In your article about online shopping being the newest and easiest way to shop, you said that computers will replace shopping malls sooner or later because they make buying things faster and cheaper. But don‘t you think that the entire point of shopping is to spend leisure time with friends while doing something necessary. Shopping is not just a quick task. It is, in fact, an entire way of life.Paul:I am a great collector of all manner of hard-to-find items such as out-of-print books and antiques. Purchasing in physical stores would mean round-the-world travel and years of effort. I can get the same result in a few hours on eBay, and often at bargain prices. I am quite well-off, but buy very few consumer items available in regular shops. I have many friends and acquaintances with the same approach.Mike:My wife buys online often. I have not heard complaints or dissatisfaction. She can compare with different online vendors‘prices after she has decided what she wants. It‘s delivered to the door, a big time savings and gas savings. If I need something, I check online first and see what it costs and then decide where to buy, local stores or online. Online has the advantage most of the time.Henry:Virtually all online stores make your register. But, I don‘t need another username and password to remember. I will only buy online if I cannot find something locally. Even though shipping is fast, I‘d rather drive across town and pay more to be able to bring home a new gadget the same day. And, most of the time, there is no difference in price between local stores and onlinestores.Jeff:If you think the prices are the same online as they are locally, you‘re dealing with the wrong online retailers. I‘m an online shopping veteran and I always save quite a bit on my large-dollar purchases. With a little research experience, I‘ve easily saved thousands of dollars over the last several years. Besides, shipping on most items is reasonable and you don‘t even pay taxes 99.9% of the time.Now match the name of each person (36 - 40) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements36. Jennifer [A] I‘ll buy online only when I have to.37. Paul [B] You can enjoy steep discounts with most online sellers.38. Mike [C] I shift between buying on or off line depending on what suits me.39. Henry [D] Shopping is not only a necessary task but a sociable pleasure.40. Jeff [E] Online selling helps to satisfy my special needs in buying.[F] Buying online is far from being as good as it is boasted to be.[G] Buying online can save you a lot only if you find the right online sellers.Part CDirections:Read the following text from which five sentences have been removed, choose from the sentences A – G the most suitable one to fill each numbered gad in the text (41 – 45).

I followed her to her truck and bought a kilo. On credit, of course.41 ―Pay me whenever you like,‖ said Effie, climbing back into her truck.All pretense of payment was dropped when our funds, food and fuel decreased to alarming lows. Effie came often, always bringing some gift: a jar of peaches or some firewood. There were other generosities. Our baby was not doing well, so Effie financed my wife‘s trip to New York for consultation with specialist.42 Her income, derived from investments she had made while running an interior decorating shop, had never exceeded $200a month, which she supplemented by selling her apples. But she always managed to help someone poorer.Years passed before I was able to return the money Effie had given me from time to time. She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year. ―Here, darling,‖ I said, ―is what I owe you.‖―Don‘t give it to me all at once,‖ she said. ― 43 ‖ I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt.The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie, for she died a few weeks later. 44 But a curious thing began to happen.Whenever I saw a fellow human in financial trouble, I was moved to help him. I can‘t afford to do this always, but in the ten years since Effie‘s death, I have indirectly repaid my debt to her.The oddest part of the whole affair is that people whom I help often help others later on. 45 So the account can never be marked closed, for Effie‘s love will go on in hearts that have never known her.[A] At that time, it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled.[B] Give your help to those in greater need.[C] Effie was not a rich woman.[D] Effie worked diligently all her lift.[E] Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just then.[F] By now, the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times.[G] Give it back as I gave it to you---a little at a time.Part DDirections:Read the following text from which 10 words have been removed.

If there was ever a moment to panic, this was it.‖But she didn‘t. An hour later, she reached the peak—the last step in her personal challenge to scale the highest mountains on all seven continents.Ten years earlier, she‘d come face-to-face with a different type of fear, when she was unable to feel anything in the right side of her body. After learning she had multiple sclerosis (MS)—a serious illness that gradually makes a person weak and unable to move or see, she left her marriage, job, and home: ―I ran frommy whole life.‖It was just before climbing South America‘s Mount Aconcagua in 2000 that she set her sights on the Seven Summits. After training by pulling 50-pound bags of dog food up the ski slopes near her home, she topped Europe‘s Mount Elbrus in 2002, North America‘s McKinley in 2006, and Australia‘s Kosciuszko and Antarctica‘s Vinson Massif in 2008. She‘d scaled Africa‘s Kilimanjaro in 1993. That left Asia‘s Everest, the highest of all.And there she stood, on a ridge at 28,000 feet. ―When I trained, I told myself to take one step at a time by spelling out words,‖ she says. ―So I spelled out ?Don't let fear in.‘‖ It got her to the top.She‘s the first person with MS to conquer the Seven Summits. With her condition stable, she plans a return to Kilimanjaro—this time with 15 others with MS by her side.参考答案及解析第⼀部分听⼒理解1-5 CDBAD 6-10 DAABC 11-15 CDBCB 16-20 CADCC 21-25 BBCDA[听⼒原⽂] PART A1.

You can take a bus from the British Museum.M: Perfect. Thanks for your help.W: You‘re welcome. Have a good time.Questions 22-25[听⼒原⽂]Why do people smoke? One reason is that people become dependent on cigarettes. The substance which people cannot resist in cigarettes is nicotine. When people smoke the nicotine goes directly into the blood stream and makes people feel relaxed. A smoker‘s body gets accustomed to the nicotine and if he stops smoking he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of their dependence on nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too hard to stop. Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking and what it symbolizes. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social forms, for example, the cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it makes their hands busy.Many people also like the taste of tar in cigarettes. However, it is the tar causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to make people give up smoking entirely, cigarette manufacturers have to keep selling them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people is western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they find it difficult to stop smoking but want to reduce its risk.第⼆部分阅读Text 1参考译⽂5岁的伊利亚带了⼀⼤盒彩⾊铅笔去学校。

2015年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（课标全国卷II）英语第二部分阅读理解A我的彩色电视给我带来的只有头疼。
大约一年多前，我让我的亲戚们把送我的生日礼物从一大堆不合身的衣服换成了钱，我这才有能力买下了它。
但我上了一位售货员的当，买了一个停产的型号。
一天后，当我在报纸上看到该电视的广告，售价比我买的还便宜了75美元，这才意识到自己上当了。
这台电视在我刚买回家时真是太棒了，所以我会一直开着，直到夜里各大电视台的节目都停播为止。
幸运的是，我没有通宵播放电影的频道，否则我就整夜都不会睡了。
然后它就开始出现静电噪音的问题。
由于某种原因，当某些电视节目被转到商业广告时，就会出现几秒很大的噪声。
逐渐地，就连节目中也会出现这个噪声，为了消除它，我不得不换到别的频道，然后再换回来。
这个方法有时还不管用，我又不得不将这台电视抱起摇晃来消除噪声。
摇晃电视这活都开始让我的手臂长出肌肉了。
当这两种方法都无法消除静电噪声时，我只能无助地坐在那里，等待着它自动消失。
最终，我用拳头打了这台电视，它便彻底不工作了。
拿它去修理铺修花了我62美元，现在它又恢复正常工作了，但我一直预感着它还会出现更多麻烦。

若你的家没有足够的自然光，那就多装一些灯，让灯光充斥整个家。
注意颜色。
研究建议，暖色会促进我们的食欲。
在一项研究中，在蓝色房间中的人，吃掉的食物比在黄色或红色房间中的人少了33%。
黄色等暖色会让食物变得更可口，而冷色会减少我们的饥饿感。
因此，当该重新粉刷家里时，选择蓝色。
不要忘记钟或收音机。
与那些吃饭匆忙的人相比，吃得慢的人每餐会少摄入70卡路里。

SimpleSection ⅡReading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Text 1A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys. People art actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people's cortntlol. Which is it at stress marker.While they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home, writes one of the researchers. Sarah Damaske, In fact women say they feel better at work. She notes. it is men not women. Who report being bappicr at home than at work, Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with childrcn and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why pcoplc who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn't measure is whether people are still doing work when they' re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women, it' s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it's not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they're supposed to be doing: working, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-yourfamily-have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it, or if they' re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they' re your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.So it's not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co-workers are much harder to motivate.21.According to Pa ragraph 1，most previous su rveys found that home___________[A]was an un realistic place for relaxation[B]generated more stress than the workplace[C]was an ideal place for stress measurement[D]offered greater relaxation than the workplace22.According to Damaske，who are likely to be the happiest at home?[A]Working mothers[B]Childless husbands[C] Childless wives[D]Working fathers23 The blurring of working women's roles refers to the fact thay___________[A]they are both bread winners and housewives[B]their home is also a place for kicking back[C]there is often much housework left behind[D]it is difficult for them to leave their office24.The wordmoola(Line 4，Para 4)most probably means___________[A]energy[B]skills[C]earnings[D]nutrition25.The home front differs from the workplace in that_____________[A]home is hardly a cozier working environment[B]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut[C]household tasks are generally more motivating[D]family labor is often adequately rewarded答案：21.D offered greater relaxation than the workplace22.B childless husbands23.A they are both bread winners and housewives24.C earnings25.B division of labor at home is seldom clear-cutText 2For years, studies have found that first-generation college students-those who do not have a parent with a college degree-lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created a paradox in that recruiting first-generation students, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has continued to reproduce and widen, ratherthan close achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressingbeginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Sciense.But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach(which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program) can close 63 percent of the achievement gap(measured by such factors as grades)between first-generation and other students.The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findins are based on a study involving 147 students(who completed the project)at an unnamed private unive rsity．First generation was defined as not having a parent with a fou r-year college degree Most of the first-generation students(59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants，a federal g rant for undergraduates with financial need，while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students wit at least one parent with a four-year degreeTheir thesis-that a relatively modest inte rvention could have a big impact-was based on the view that first-gene ration students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students They cite past resea rch by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be na rrowed to close the achievement gap.Many first-gene ration studentsstruggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education，learn the'rules of the game，'and take advantage of college resou rces, they write And this becomes more of a problem when collages don't talk about the class advantage and disadvantages of different groups of students Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students' educational expe rience，many first-gene ration students lack sight about why they a re struggling and donot unde rstand how students' like them can improve26.

There were goals，there were strategies，there were objectives，but we didn't talk about energy；we didn't talk about passion.Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabula ry is very eam-oriented-andnot by coincidence.Let's not forget sDorts-in male-dominated corporate America，it's stilla big deal. It's not explicitly conscious；it's the idea that I'm a coach，and you're my team，and we're in this togethec. There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies，but most think of themselves as coaches and this is their team and they want to win.，as Khu rana points out，These terms a re also intended to infuse work with meaning-andincrease allegiance to the firm.You have the importation of terminology that historicallyused to be associated with non-profit organizations and religious organizations：Terms like vision，values，passion，and purpose，saidKhuranaThis new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance The mommy wars of the 1990s a re still going on today, prompting arguments about whywomen still can'thave it all and books like Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In，whose title has become abuzzword in its own right. Terms like unplug，offline，life-hack，bandwidth，andcapacity are all about setting boundaries between the office and the home But ifyour work is your passion, you'II be more likely to devote yourself to it，even ifthat means going home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bedBut this seems to be the irony of office speak：Everyone makes fun of it，butmanage rslove it，companies depend on it，and regular people willingly absorb itAs Nunberg said，You can get people to think it's nonsense at the same timethat you buy into it. In aworkplace that's fundamentally indiffe rent to your lifeand its meaning office speak canhelp you figu re out how you relate to yourwork-and how your work defines who you are31.

And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.However there is another important part of the jobs picture that was targely ovedookcd. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000（4,4 percent）above its year ago level.Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction. Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs. They take part-time work because this is all they can get. An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet.There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000(7.9 percent)from its year ago level.employmentpart-time involuntary and voluntary between difference the know Webecause people tell us. The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than 35 hours in the reference week. If the answer is yes. hey are classified as working part-time. The survey then asks whether they worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice. They are only elassified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare becanse one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment. For many people, especially those with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions, before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges. These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.36. Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?A. The prospect of a thriving job market.B. The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.C. The possibility of full employment.D. The acceleration of job creation.37. Many people work part-time because theyA. prefer part-time jobs to full-time jobsB. feel that is enough to make ends meetC. cannot get their hands on full-time jobsD. haven' t seen the weakness of the market38. Involuntary part-time employment in the USA. is harder to acquire than one year agoB. shows a general tendency of declineC. satisfies the real need of the joblessD. is lower than before the recession39. It can be learned that with Obamacare, .A. it is no longer easy for part-timers to get insuranceB. employment is no longer a precondition to get insuranceC. it is still challenging to get insurance for family membersD. full-time employment is still essential for insurance40. The text mainly discusses.A. employment in the USB. part-timer classificationC. insurance through MedicaidD.

Moreover, we are grieving various kinds of loss: a friendship, a rontantic relatlonshlp of a house. Hard times may hold you down at what usually seems like the most inopportune time,but you should remember that they won't last forever.When our time of mourning is over, we press forward, stronger with a greater understanding and respect for life. Furthermore, these losses make us mature and eventally move as toward future opportunities for growth and happiness. I want to share these old truths I've learned along the way.41.Fear is both useful and harmful. This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us to deal with it. Unfortunately, people create inner barriers with a help of exaggerating fears. My favorite actor will smith once said, Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice. I do completely agree that fears are just the product of our luxuriant imagination.42 .If you are ??? by ??? and43. .Sometimes it is casy to feel bad because you are going through tough times. You can be easily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things youhave. Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining about something.44..No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is, you should always remember that you are not alone. Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants to help you if you are trying to make a good change in your life, especially your dearest and nearest people, You may have a circle of friends who provide constant good humor, help and companionship. If you have no friends or relatives. Try to participate in several online communities, full of people who are always willing to share advice and cncouragement.45 .Today many people find it difficult to trust their own opinion and seek balance by gaining objectivity from external sources. This way you devalue your opinion and show that you are incapable of managing your of own life. When you are struggling to achieve something important you should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best. You live in your skin, think your own thoughts, have your own values and make your own choices.答案：41.D Most of your fears are unreal42.E Think about the resent moment43.G There are many things to be grateful for44.A you are not alone45.C Pave your own unique pathSection ⅢTranslation46. Directions:Translate the following text from English into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET 2. (15 points)Think about driving a route that's very familiar. It could be your commute to work, a tripinto town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. On these sorts of trips it's easy tolose concentration on the driving and paylittle attention to the passing scenery. The consequence is that you perceive that the triphas taken less time than it actually has.This is the well-travelled road effect: people tend to underestimate the time it takes totravel a familiar route.The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down awell-known route, because we don't have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can't remember the journey well because we didn't pay much attention to it. So we assume it wasshorter.参考译文：想想看在一条非常熟悉的路上驾驶的感觉，这可能发生在上班，进城或回家的路上。

2015英语2答案详解 Microsoft Word 文档
2015年全国高考英语新课标卷II答案及详解第二部分阅读理解第一节A【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。
作者用幽默诙谐的笔调向我们讲述了他购买的一台电视机所带来的一系列烦恼的故事。
21. C。
推理判断题。
根据“…newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.”可知，作者是在一天后看到自己所购买的电视机降了75美元才感觉自己上当受骗上当了。
由此可知他本可以以更低的价格购买这台电视机的。
因此C项正确。
22. A。
词义猜测题。
由下一句的内容可知，我没有彻夜播放电影的频道，不然就无法睡觉了。
据此可以推断作者一直看到一天的节目结束为止。
故A项为正确答案。
23. D。
事实细节题。
由短文最后“My trip to the repair shop cost me $62.”一句可知，作者把电视机送到维修店里请人修理。
24. D．推理判断题。
纵览全文，尤其是第二段末句“I actually began to build up my arm muscles, shaking my set.”（通过摇晃电视机，我手臂的肌肉增强了不少。
）字里行间流露出作者幽默调侃的语气。
因此答案为D。
B【语篇导读】这是一篇科普说明文。
短文主要说明了人的食量与房子粉刷的颜色、灯光的明暗等有着密切的关系。
它们对人的身材会产生一定的影响。
25. B。
推理判断题。
短文主要说明了饮食与室内光线、墙壁的颜色、餐具的尺寸及进餐的速度等的关系。
显然这对于那些注重体形的人是有所帮助的。
故答案为B。
26. B。
事实细节题。
根据第三段“…people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.”可知，蓝色的用餐环境有助于减少食物摄入量。

You were so kindly and friendly to treat me to the local food, and takeus to do a lot of sightseeing.

I would like to invite you visit China. I’ll act like a guide to show you around the places of interests in my hometown.Yours,Li Hua【答案】【知识点】D1 短文改错记叙文【答案解析】第一行：去掉was；stay是不及物动词，不能用被动；第二行：kindly改为kind，用形容词做表语；us改为me，逻辑错误，前文是me；第三行：which改为whose，此处引导词做定语，后面名词与先行词Sydney是所有格关系，故用whose；第四行：better该为good，此处不是比较级，用形容词原级作定语；have改为had，与learned 并列，用一般过去时态；here改为there，根据句意应当是表示在悉尼玩的高兴，所以应当是表示在那儿，所以用there。
第五行：visit前加to，invite sb to do sth，邀请某人做某事，固定短语；like改为as，作为一名导游，as表示“作为”。
第六行：interests改为interest，place of interest的复数形式只改变place，其他不变。
