Many studies have looked for a connecti on between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed. Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, “so they’re the ones that maynot have shown such cognitive(认知的) decline,” said study team leader El izabeth of the University of Warwick in England.Scientists surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular categ ory as possible in the given time, e.g. “object usually colored gray”, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men are usually good; the latter are typically dominated by women. Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.【小题1】According to the passage, which of the following can NOT be typed into the same category?A．cloudB．sheepC．treesD．goose【小题2】Which of the following statements is true according the article? _______ A．Men do better than women when it comes to learning English.B．Women stand out at remembering people’s names.C．Women do well in dealing mathematic problems.D．Men excel at typing as many words as possible in the given time.【小题3】One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that________.A．women live longer than menB．people surveyed are all oldC．the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive declineD．people taking part in this test came from all over the world【小题4】The author aims to tell us that _________.A．women’s minds perform better than men’sB．men’s minds decline more with ageC．everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get olderD．a survey on human’s mind decline was done recently8.I think that's unlikely to happen, but if that ______ occur, both America's and China's interest would be severely damaged.A．shouldB．couldC．wouldD．might9.I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different than the other kids’. But atleast I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.【小题1】Which of the following things did the writer hate to do most?A．Eating differently from other kids.B．Wearing clean clothes made by motherC．Going to bed early and getting up earlyD．Letting mother know where they were【小题2】It can be inferred from the passage that____________.A．the writer worked hard and usually got good grades in studiesB．mother was punished for breaking the Labor LawC．all the other kids studied better than the writerD．the writer’s family lived a miserable life【小题3】Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage ? A．Mother practiced economy in running her homeB．The writer is very thankful for her motherC．The writer is severe with her children when bringing them upD．The wrier has a deep hatred for her mother【小题4】The passage was written in a way of _________ tone.A．humorousB．hatefulC．ridiculousD．critical10.Due to the widespread ________ of this medical technology, more diseases can be discovered and treated at an early stage.A．approvalB．applicationC．appointmentD．appreciation11.We don’t think the experiment is ______ failure. At least we have gained ______ experience for future success.A．the; aB．a; /C．a; anD．the; the12.Saying “thank you” is probably the first thing most of us learn to do in a foreign language. After all, we’re brought up to be polite, and it is important to make a good impression upon other people — especially across national divides.So, what exactly are you supposed to say when “thank you” is only the 20th most popular way to express gratitude? According to a recent survey, 19 other ways ofexp ressing appreciation finished ahead of “thank you” in a poll of 3,000 people. Pollsters(民测调查员) found almost half of those asked preferred the more informal “cheers”, while others liked to use such expressions as “ta”, “great” and “nice one”. So, just what is the appropriate form of words to express your thanks? Fortunately, the clue is in the language itself. “Cheers”, despite its popularity, is considered an informal way to say thank you — and this is a definite clue as to when you can best use it.For ins tance, when going for a drink with friends, a smile and a “cheers” by way of thanks is not only appropriate to the situation, it is also culturally accurate. “Ta”, originated from the Danish word “tak”, was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and is also commonly used in informal situations, along with phrases such as “nice one”, and “brilliant”. Interestingly, one word that didn’t make it into the top 20 was “thanks”, Thank you is shorter, more informal cousin.“Thanks” can be useful, as it is ab le to bridge the divide between the formality of “thank you” and the downright relaxed “cheers”.Certain words can double as an expression of thanks as well as delight. Again, the words themselves offer the clue as to when best to use them.For example, wo rds like “awesome”, “brilliant” and “you star” featured highly in the new poll and they can hint at both your pleasure at someone’s action, as well as serving to express your thanks. If you are on the receiving end of a “new” thank you, you can respond wit h a simple “no problem”, or “sure”.Of course, in certain circumstances, a simple wave, nod or smile may be appropriate. For instance, if a car driver slows down to let you cross the road, simply raising your hand in acknowledgement is enough to show that you appreciate the driver’s consideration.Sometimes, formality is necessary, and “thank you” is still the best choice in such situations. But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions. Many people in Western countries are worried that good manners are in decline. People are tired of seeing their acts of kindness and service pass without comment. So don’t think your “thank you” is clumsy or awkwardly formal. The chances are, if you said “thank you”, you made someone’s day. You star.【小题1】We can tell from the results of the poll that __________.A．people are unconcerned about politeness nowadays.B．“thank you” remains the best expression of gratitude.C．there is a variety of expressions of appreciation.D．there are more formal expressions than informal ones.【小题2】According to the passage, which is an appropriate response to “awesome” or “brilliant”?A．Thanks.B．Sure.C．Nice one.D．Cheers. .【小题3】In the last paragraph the author encourages people to .A．show their gratitude to others.B．behave themselves well.C．continue their acts of kindness.D．stop worrying about bad manners.【小题4】Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage? A．How to Appear More Polite .B．Ways to Show Gratitude.C．Never hesitate to Say “Thank You”.D．Good Manners in Decline!13.____ you ask many different questions will you acquire all the information you need to know．A．If onlyB．As far asC．So long asD．Only if14.As I know, there is _____ car in this neighborhood.A．no suchB．no aC．not suchD．no such a15.Tattoos and body piercings（穿孔）have moved up on the trend list in recent years. Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and “flesh ink”（纹身）. As with all other subjects, the Chinese will surely have to deal with this situation with respect to their children. To get a better view of what has happened in the West, 1et’s sit down and hear what they say.Tiara from Indiana：I personally think body piercing is sickening. If there were supposed to be holes in your body，you would have been born with them. I do，however，think that ear piercing is not wrong. There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing. Earpiercing is not nearly as dangerous. I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.Lee from Illinois:Hi! I live in Illinois. I am 23. I have 12 tattoos and three piercings. I love my tattoos and consider myself an art collector. You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs up on my art work. People on the street stop me to look at the tattoo on my leg. Most of them don’t know what it is. They just think the work itself is great.Subotai from California:I’m not forbidden of self-expression，but when I see high school students getting these piercings, I really wonder. In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion. A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin. It got infected and she had a tongue the size o f a cow’s.Jackson from Ohio:I don’t think it is wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything—I think that’s ridiculous. People who get the big “dragons that cover the whole body—I don’t think that’s necessary.” When I see naked chicks on guys, I thin k, “You have no respect for women.”【小题1】Who doesn’t think tattoos and piercings except ear piercing are beautiful？A．JacksonB．LeeC．TiaraD．Subotai【小题2】We can conclude that .A．tattoos and piercings are a new kind of elegant artB．all the teachers in the West are in favour of tattoos and piercings C．everything is changeable as time goes onD．it is necessary to live with different views of beauty【小题3】The best title for this passage is probably .A．Body Art or Causing DamageB．Doing Damage to the Young People’s BodiesC．Young People’s Different CuriositiesD．The Latest Fashion16.________， the car stopped all at once.A．Seeing a boy lying on the groundB．On seeing a boy sitting on the roadC．The driver saw a boy standing on the roadD．The minute the driver saw a boy seated on the road17.My wife ______the night shift when my plane ______.

AI used to think of myself as a fairly open person, but my bookshelves told a different story. Apart from a few Indian novels and the Australian and South African book, my literature collection consisted of British and America n titles. Worse still, I hardly ever read any thing in translatio n. My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors.So, at the start of 2012,1 set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing. As I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, I decided to ask the plancf s readers for help・ I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English・The response was amazing. Before I knew it, people all over the planet were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help. Some posted me books from their home countries・ Others did hours of research on my behalf. In addition, several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62% of the British who only speak English・ Even so, selecting books was no easy task. With translations making up only around 4.5 percent of literary works published in the UK and Ireland, getting English versions of stories was difficultBut the effort was worth it. I found I was visiting the mental space of the storytellers. These stories not only opened my mind to the real life in other places, but opened my heart to the way people there might feel.And that in turn changed my thinking. Through reading the stories shared with me by bookish strangers ai-ound the globe, I realized I was not alone, but part of a network that spread all over the planet. （325 words）1.Which of the following might be found on the blog A Year of Reading the WorlcHA.Unfinished novels by British writers・B. Research on English literature・C・ Lists of English version books. D・ Comments on English literature・2.Why was it hard for the author to select the right books to read?A・ The author could only read books written in English・B.The author was only interested in a few topics.C.The author had a busy schedule.D.Most books recommended are not available in local bookshops・3.The author is probably from _________•A.AmericaB. CanadaC. AustraliaD. the UK4.Which of the following words can best describe the author's experience?A.fast and effortlessB. challenging but rewardingC. hopeless but beneficialD. meaningful but fruitlessJ BMy oldest child, Emma, just relumed to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college. These days, friends and family have begun flooding me with one question: What is she going to do after graduation?The job market is, after all, awfully tough. Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that "recent graduates are increasingly working in low・paid jobs or working part-time.^ The bright spot, according to the study, is for students who majored in STEM ——science, technology, engineering and mathematics — areas in which recent graduates “have tended to do relatively wcir\But Emma is a student of the humanities at a small college・ She's an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food. For quite a while, I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I'm not the least bit worried she will find a good job. Yet the more Fve thought about it, the more Fve decided to be honest. "I'm not sure what Emma is going to do/5 I now say. "But she's gotten a great education and has really found her interest, 一and I know those things will serve her well over the course of her life.^Nowadays, more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates. In this climate, encouraging your kid to study the humanities, seems, at best, unwise or, at worst, unconcerned with earning a living・ But a college is not a vocational school. And promoting STEM subjects should not be society's only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world・From the beginning, we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money, as more and more families are doing ・ To Emma, what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time: Emma's contribution to the world and how happy she is in it. (348 words)5. The author's friends and family ________ .A ・ are concerned about Emma's futureB ・ have been worrying about the floodC ・ are worried about Emma's safety D. are worried about the job market6. What can we learn from Paragraph 2 ?A. The number of the graduates is increasing.B. STEM graduates can be better employees.C. STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand ・D. More and more graduates like to do a part-time job ・7. Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities?A. Because she is interested in it.B. Because her mother told her to.C. Because it is increasingly popular.D. Because she wants further education.8. According to the author, what matters most in choosing a major is that ________ .A. it should be among the STEM B ・ it should bring achievements and happinessC ・ it should allow a good job and a high salary D. it should be fashionable and interestingCRecently a study, led by Pedro Hallal of the Federal University, suggests that nearly a third of adults, 31%, are not getting enough exercise ・ That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discoveiy ・ Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. But only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis Dr Hallal and his colleagues have engaged in.There are common themes in different places- Unsurprisingly, people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones, and old people are less active than young ones. Less obviously, women tend to exercise less than men 一34% are inactive, compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions ・ The women of Croatia, Finland, Iraq and Luxembourg, for example, move more than their male countrymen. Malta wins the race for most slothful country, with 72% of adults getting too little exercise, and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in close behind, with 69%. In Bangladesh, just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. Surprisingly, six Americans in ten are active enough according to Dr HallaPs study, compared with fewer than fc )ur in ten British.These high rates of inactivity are worrying. Human beings seem to have evolved to benefit from exercise while deliberately avoiding it whenever they can. In a state of nature it would be impossible to live a life that did not provide enough of it. But that is no longer the case ・ Actually lack of enough activity these days has nearly the same effect on life span as smoking. (291 words)9. We may learn from Paragraph 1 that ________ .A. the decline of exercise rates is newly discoveredB. the study suggests 31% of female adults get too little exerciseC. the industrial revolution has changed the way people live to some degreeD. the good eno ugh data has been collected from only one country10.

2010-2023历年山西省山西大学附中高三上学期月考英语卷
2010-2023历年山西省山西大学附中高三上学期月考英语卷第1卷一.参考题库(共18题)1.Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general．Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian（百姓的）clothes．People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform．The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes．Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform．What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits．They save on other clothes．They save on laundry bills．They are tax-deductible（可减税的）．They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them．Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement．When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems．Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes．Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.【小题1】It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality_______.A．still judge a man by his clothesB．hold the uniform in such high regardC．enjoy having a professional identityD．will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform【小题2】People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______. A．suggests quality workB．discards his social identityC．appears to be more practicalD．looks superior to a person in civilian clothes【小题3】The chief function of a uniform is to _______.A．provide practical benefits to the wearerB．make the wearer catch the public eyeC．inspire the wearer’s confidence in himselfD．provide the wearer with a professional identity【小题4】The best title for this passage would be _______.A．Uniforms and SocietyB．The Importance of Wearing a UniformC．Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD．Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms2.---So you are running __ clothing shop?---Yes, but I don’t want to make it ___ shop only for rich people.A．the, theB．a, aC．a, theD．/, the3.I hope my teacher will take my recent illness into ___ when judging my examination. A．regardB．countingC．accountD．observation4.Road accidents victims____ almost a quarter of the hospital patients.A．make offB．make upC．make outD．make for5.Not until I was standing on the edge of death ____ how much I wanted to live.A．I realizedB．did I realizeC．I had realizedD．had I realized6.The need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche(灵魂). __【小题1】__ Separateness, according to psychologists, means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world. It is the source of all anxiety._【小题2】____ It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between two kinds of love: B-love or “being love” m eans love for another person: unselfish love not dependent upon your own needs. D-love or “deficiency-love” is a selfish possessive love which is based upon someone else’s ability to satisfy your needs.D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether person al needs continue to be met…But B-love is unconditional. _【小题3】__ Furthermore, as it depends upon who you are, it is possible only when you allow yourself to be known to the other person.The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love._【小题4】_ Symbiotic union is an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow’s concept of D-love.Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain(保持) their independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love people can overcome their sense of separateness yet continue to be themselves. The mature lover would say , “I love you because I need you,” but the mature one: “_【小题5】_”A．There are two types of love.B．I need you because I love you.C．Love is a way of overcoming the feelingD．Every one of us needs love.E. It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.F. They are immature love, called by him symbiotic union(共同体), and mature love.G. These two types are quite different from each other.7.Everything he _____ to his country.A．had was contributedB．had been contributedC．had to be contributedD．had contributed8.TUESDAY, July11SHANGHAI---The 12th International Processing, Packaging & End-Line Printing Exhibition opens at Shanghai New International Expo Centre ( to July 13)Tel************HONGKONG---The Hong Kong International Textile and Garment Machinery and Technology Fair 2006 opens at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre ( to July 14).Tel: +852 2584 4333THURSDAY, July 13SHANGHAI---The China(Shanghai) International Wedding Photographic Equipment Exhibition (Autumn) opens at Shanghai Mart ( to July16 ).Tel************HARBIN, Heilongjiang Province---The Ninth Harbin International Automobile Industry Exhibition and Sports Centre ( to July 17 ).Tel*************FRIDAY, July 14HONG KONG---The Hong Kong Wedding, Banquet & Wedding Accessories Expo 2006 opens at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre ( to July 16 ).Tel: +852 2367 8385WEDNESDAY, July 19SHANGHAI---The 14th Shanghai International Advertising Technology & Equipment Exhibition / Shanghai International Media Technology & Equipment opens at Shanghai New International Expo Centre ( to July 22 ).Tel************SHANGHAI---The Shanghai International Outdoor AD Illuminating Technology & Equipment Exhibition, Outdoor Media Promotion Exhibition opens at Shanghai New International Expo Centre ( to July 22 ).Tel************SHANGHAI---PAPERTECH Shanghai 2006 opens at Shanghai New International Expo Centre ( to July 22 ).Tel************【小题1】More exhibitions are held in _______A．Shanghai New International Expo CentreB．Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition CentreC．Shanghai MartD．Harbin International conference, Exhibition and Sports Centre【小题2】How many exhibitions can you attend on July 15______A．oneB．twoC．threeD．four【小题3】The text is likely to be a (an)________A．business diaryB．product advertisementC．private timetableD．magazine9.____ the factors already referred to, people sometimes feel insecure because their motives are misunderstood by others.A．But forB．ExceptC．Apart fromD．Except that10.面对中学生“出国热”，社会对此有不同的看法。

One of them plays a guitar made from an empty oil tin. Their headmistress, Emile Jean-Noel, is one of the few women school principals in the country. ks**5uOver 70 % of Haitian population live below the poverty line with inadequate food, water, schools, or housing. To reduce the hunger that prevents learning and to encourage parents to send their children to school, meals are provided by the World Food Programme.“We are so cut off we have many difficulties,” comments Emile, adding that finding chalk, school books and other materials is practically impossible. Emile tries to encourage those around her to make use of all available resources. Her efforts are bearing fruit. One of her successes was convincing local women to contribute to their children’s schooling and increase their own income by selling embroidery(刺绣) and other handicrafts. ks**5uRecent political instability has meant that the country has not invested in education for ten years. Enrolment(入学) is a mere 44 per cent and a little less than a half of those entering primary school finish it. Less than a third of these go on to secondary school. In rural areas it is not rare to find 17- and 18 year-olds in primary school. Beau-Roc has only 4 teachers for 260 pupils. Emile works constantly to improve her pupils’ environment. Under her direction, a local wo rker is now constructing a storehouse for the food delivered regularly by the World Food Programme.Not only is Emile’s salary too little, but she receives it irregularly. For her, transport is a real headache. She lives five kilometers away and has to take a privately-owned bus, costing more than she can afford.“The decision to be a rural teacher in Haiti should not be taken lightly”, Emile comments. “With all the sacrifices and risks it requires, only those who are really cut out for teaching should do i t.” Nevertheless, Emile loves her job. “I always feel at home with the children and, the parents understand what I’m doing.”56. What theme is presented in this passage?A. Devotion to education.B. Poverty and hardship.C. Politics and childrenD. Love and beauty ks**5u57. Which of the following is extremely difficult for Beau-Roc primary school?A. Teaching the women how to make embroidery and other handicrafts.B. Persuading local women to care about their children’s education.C. Encouraging those around her to use those available resources.D. Finding chalk, school books and other materials.58. In the last paragraph, “those who are really cut out for teaching” are those who are ________.A. dismissed from teachingB. unfamiliar with teachingC. qualified for teachingD. cautious about teachingBLabor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn income. This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment, so it includes employers and the self-employed. Labor is one of the country's resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services wanted by the community.Although the size of the workforce depends a great deal on the size of the total population, there are several other influences which also affect it. The age distribution (分布) of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work, then the available workforce would be lower than if there were a balanced spread age distribution. If the population naturally grows rapidly, the number of births greatly exceeds (超出) the number of deaths then as a total population increases proportion of the workforce declines.Sometimes a population is described as aging which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly, and as people retire from the workforce there are insufficient numbers of young people entering it to replace those who are leaving it. In that situation the population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate. ks**5uThe age distribution of the population has several important effects on the economy. If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce, this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared for in special homes, finance must be available for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population, then the government tax revenue (税收) is relatively low and either the government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.59．In the passage “labor force” is defined as ___________.A．people who are available to work and earn incomeB．self-employed people onlyC．people who are looking for an employment ks**5uD．employers who create job opportunities60．The conclusion which can be drawn from the second paragraph is that___________.A．a natural growth of population leads to a balanced workforceB．a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforceC．the larger the population, the higher the proportion of the workforceD．the workforce will be lower, if the population has a balanced age distribution，61．When a population is said to be aging，___________.A．there are more people retiring than those entering the workforceB．the birth rate must be growingC．there should be an oversupply of workforceD．There are more people entering the workforce than those retiringC(1) Mr. Brown (the motorist)At about 9:20 p.m. on October 14th, I was driving along Market Road in the direction of Midwick. I wanted to go to Sturham to collect my wife, who had been visiting some friends. I prepared to turn into Sturham Road, which was on my right. In the distance, I saw the lights of a car moving towards me but it was along way from me. I put out my hand to show that I was going to turn right. Then I started to turn slowly towards Sturham Road. Suddenly there was a loud noise on the passenger’s (near) side of the car. I stopped the car and got out. A motorcycle had hit my car. The motorcyclist had been thrown over the car. He was injured, so I ran to a shop to phone for help.(2) Mt. Smith (the injured motorcyclist)On the evening of October 14th , I was going home along Market Road towards Newtown. I was riding my motorcycle. I was going slowly because some of the streetlights were out and road was wet and slippery. Just before Sturham road, a car suddenly drove right across my path. The driver did not flash his lights to give a warning. I could not turn in time, so I hit the side of the car. When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital in Market Road.(3) Mr. Lee (another motorcyclist) ks**5uAt about 9:10 p.m. on October 14th , I left my home in Midwick. Ten minutes later I was riding my motorcycle along Market Road. I was going to Newton. There was a motorcycle about 40 meters in front of me. It was not going very quickly. The man on it was riding near the curb (路边) but I was near the center of the road. The motorcyclist in front of me tried to turn to his right but there was no time. He hit the car and was injured. There was no car going along in front of us o put by the road. ks**5u62. Which of these pictures exactly shows the scene of the accident?X= the place where the motorcycle hit the car; N=Newtown;M= Midwick; S=Sturham (Note that cars and motorcycles always keep to the left in England.)63. Which of these statements about the accident is probably correct?A. Mr. Brown wrongly supposed that the lights of the two motorcycles were those of a car.B. the lights of the car moving towards Mr. Brown made him unable to see.C. Mr. Brown knocked down a motorcyclist on purpose.D. The accident was caused by the carelessness of the first motorcyclist.64. It seems probable from the statements that Mr. Brown ______ .A. gave no signal to show that he was turning rightB. did not five any signal until he was actually turningC. failed to give a proper signal at that timeD. flashed his light to show that he was going to turn65. We would expect to find that Mr. Brown’s car was damaged on its ______ side.A. frontB. leftC. rightD. driver’sM M MDDAs any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more. ks**5uLewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-aski ng there is.”The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible.” Says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”66. The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to ______ .A. show the relationship between parents and childrenB. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC. report on the findings of a studyD. give information about family problems67. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragrap h 3, Lewis means that middle children______ .A. have to help their parents to serve dinnerB. get the least attention from the familyC. are often kept away from the dinner tableD. find it hard to keep up with other children68. Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because ______ .A. they are busy serving food to their childrenB. they are busy keeping order at the dinner tableC. they have to pay more attention to younger childrenD. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family69. Lewis research provides an answer to the question ______ .A. Why TV is important in family ks**5uB. why parents should keep good orderC. why children in small families seem to be quietD. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life70. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?A. It is important to have the right food for children.B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner.第二节（共5小题; 每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

山西大学附中2015～2016学年第一学期高三模块诊断（11月19日）英语试题（考试时间：100分钟；满分：100分）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）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ASpeed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age．We skim over articles, e-mails and Wechat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text．Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line．But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation．A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smart phones．They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour．Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn't exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment．According to the Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smart phones．Slow readers, such as The Atlantic's Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens themind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize．Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helpspeople understand others’ mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships.Yet technology has made us less attentive readers.Screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight and left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Reading text punctuated with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text. The Internet may have made us stupider, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian.Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other．Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions.Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic．“You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said．“Reach for your e-reader, if you like．Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure you'll never lose your place．”1．The book club in Wellington mentioned in Paragraph 2 shows____________．A. the decline of electronic devices B．the new trend of slow readingC．the importance of exchanging ideas D．the increasing number of club readers2．According to Patrick Kingsley, people are stupider partly because of_____________．A．a non-stop reading pattern B．the straight, left-to-right screenC．the lack of reflection D．a wide range of interesting news3．According to the passage, slow reading___________．A．cures the memory loss of elderly peopleB．promotes the current technology advancesC．provides people with a quiet environmentD．contributes to understanding among people4．What's the best title for the passage?A．Benefit of Reading Clubs．B．Reading of the Internet Age．C．Return of Slow Reading．D．Influence of Speed ReadingBLumberjack ArtWhen people think of an artist, they probably do not imagine a lumberjack(伐木工人) cutting down trees with a chainsaw. Yet many lumberjacks consider themselves to be artists. Instead of patiently working on a large block of hard rock, however, lumberjack artists use chainsaws to carve their masterpieces from wood.Wooden sculptures(雕塑) created with chainsaws are perfect examples of folk art. Everyday tools are used to create art that focuses on subjects found in nature, such as bears or other forest animals. Not all lumberjacks are artists, but some chainsaw artists have been lumberjacks.A lumberjack who is also an artist might cut down a tree during a workday. If the stump, the bottom of the tree, is a good size, the artist might be motivated to sculpt the stump into the shape of a forest animal. The chainsaw artist might also carve other large blocks of wood. Sometimes a homeowner might cut down a tree in the yard and then hire a chainsaw artist to create an outdoor sculpture from the stump. So, this art owes its origins to everyday tasks and nature.The origins of chainsaw art may be humble(不起眼的), but the practice has expanded well beyond turning a stump into a sculpture. In some ways chainsaw artists are like traditional woodcarvers. One artist said that using chainsaws was simply more practical. This person began his work as a traditional woodcarver—that is, he used hand tools to carve the wood into the shapes he wanted. To save time, he began using a chainsaw to remove some parts of the wooden block. This artist realized that the chainsaw not only cut down large pieces of wood quickly, but it also produced a distinctive and beautiful pattern on the wood. These patterns would not be seen in other pieces of art. Eventually, the artist began using the chainsaw for nearly all of his carvings.However unusual it may seem, chainsaw art is here to stay. The final test of success for any type of art is the enthusiasm and acceptance of the public. The conclusion is: people love watching chainsaw artists work, and people love the sculptures they create.5. What do we know about chainsaw artists?A. They are originally traditional lumberjacks.B. They introduce a new conceptof artists to people.C. They create masterpieces in woods and forests.D. They produce their sculptures while cutting down trees.6. Chainsaw art _____.A. is hard to be spread.B. is a kind of folk art.C. focuses on modern themes.D. needs time to be mastered.7. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 4?A. The application of chainsaw in the lumberjack art.B. The experiences of a chainsaw artist.C. The procedure for creating a chainsaw sculpture.D. The origins of the lumberjack art.CIt was a dangerous period for Nancy when her own fortunes were concerned. She had to rely on freelance(自由撰稿) work for six months after Quality Weekly Magazine folded. The regular salary cheque had always seemed very small, but now it was like lost riches. She sent many articles to other magazines. Sometimes she struck it lucky and got a task. She once wrote a short article of a politician who appreciated her fair-minded approach and gave her some secret information. Her article was noticed by an editor in search of something sharp and fresh. And Nancy was getting a name for sharp comment. In this trade, shesaw, you didn’t need so mu ch to be up to date with things as ahead of them, lying in wait for circumstance, ready to jump.Then one day she walked into the offices of National Daily. It had taken her article and its editor had looked kindly upon her. Having handed over a piece on the latest educational theories she’d written, she fell into conversation with a woman she had known before. She learned that one of the paper’s regular columnists(专栏作家) had quitted the job. So Nancy made the necessary phone call to apply for the job.A nd then, the phone callcame. She’d have a weekly column with her photograph next to it. There would be a salary cheque, and perhaps fame and success to follow that. She realized that the job presented her with a wonderful opportunity.Later, when she was alone, Nancy thought that her appointment had probably been a piece of good fortune. However, she refused to allow the word “luck”. She must have got the job because she was good and experienced. What she never knew was that in fact the editor had been at the point of offering the column to another writer, Alex. When he was about to pick up the phone to call Alex, the colleague he most disliked walked into his office, and spoke with satisfaction of the possibility of closer association with this old friend of his. As soon as the colleague was out of the room, he reached for the phone, and rang Nancy.8.Why did Nancy spend a dangerous period?A.Because she lost the job in Quality Weekly Magazine.B.Because she reported some secret information.C.Because her regular salary cheque was too small.D.Because freelance work was difficult to do.9.Nancy thought the secret of success as a journalist was toA.make positive commentsB.wait and grasp the chanceC.get along well with editorsD.keep up with the latest information10. In the last paragraph, the underlined part “this old friend of his” refers to _____.A. the colleagueB. the editorC. AlexD. Nancy11. What can we infer from the passage?A. The new job presented Nancy with pressure.B. Working hard is the key to gaining popularity for a writer.C. Regular columnists are better than freelance writers.D. Nancy got the job in National Daily by chance.DRunning on EmptyFor almost a century, scientists have assumed, tiredness—or exhaustion—in athletes originates in the muscles(肌肉). Precise explanations have varied, but all have been based on the “Limitations Theory”. In other words, muscles tire because they hit a physical limit: they either run out of fuel or oxygen or they drown in harmful by-products(副产品).In the past few years, however, Timothy Noakes from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, has examined this standard theory. Tiredness, he argues, is caused not by signals springing from overtaxed muscles, but is an emotional response which begins in the brain. The fundamental nature of his new theory is that the brain paces the muscles to keep them well back from the edge of exhaustion. When the brain decides it’s time to quit, it creates unbearable muscle tiredness. This “Central Governor” theory remains controversial, but it does explain many puzzling aspects of athletic performance.A recent discovery that Noakes calls the “lactic acid paradox” made him start researching this area seriously. Lactic acid is a by-product of exercise, and the increase of it is often mentioned as a cause oftiredness. But when research subjects exercise in certain conditions created artificially, they become tired even though lactic acid levels remain low. Nor has the oxygen content of their blood fallen too low for them to keep going. Obviously, something else was making them tire before they hit either of these physiological limits.Noakes conducted an experiment with seven cyclists. It has long been known that during exercise, the body never uses 100% of the available muscle fibers(纤维). The amount used varies, but in some tasks such as this cycling test the body calls on about 30%. His team found that as tiredness set in, the electrical activity in cyclist’s legs declined—even when they were making a great effort to cycle as fast as they could.To Noakes, this was strong evidence that the old theory was wrong. “The cyclists may have felt completely exhausted,” he says, “but their bodies actually had considerable reserves that they could theoretically tap by using a greater amount of the resting fibers.” This, he believes, is the proof that the brain is regulating the pace of the workout to hold the cyclists well back from the point of extreme tiredness.12, Which of the following is supported by the "Limitations Theory"?A．Tiredness is caused by signals from brain．B．The body uses 100% of the muscle fibers in exercise．C．Athletes feel tired when they use up all their energy．D．Athletes become tired though lactic acid levels remain low．13．Noakes has found out that .A．muscle fibers control athletes' movements.B．mental processes control the symptoms of tiredness.C．lactic acid levels remain high in cycling test.D．different exercises use different amount of muscle fibers.14．It is likely that both theories accept that .A．the energy in human bodies can be.B．the oxygen content in blood may rise after sports.C．tiredness is a harmful by-product of exercise.D．lactic acid is produced in muscles during exercise.15. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The description of a new test.B. The explanation of the theory.C. The whole process of the research.D. The puzzling evidence of a study.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWhat’s on Your Pet’s Mind?In 1977, Irene Pepperberg of Harvard University began studying what was on another creature’s mind by talking to it. Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sounds of the English language. “I thought if he le arned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.”At the time, most scientists didn’t believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didn’t have the ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves.“That’s why I started my studies with Alex,” Irene said, “Some people actually called me crazy for tr ying this.”Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use a variety of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex the parrot became a very good talker.Thirty years after the Alex studies began, Irene was still giving him English lessons up until his recent death. For example, if Alex was hungry he cou ld say “want grape”. Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. “He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them.” Irene said, after pronouncing “seven” for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g. wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say “seven”.Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.One th eory for dogs’ ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving. While animals can’t do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution develops intelligence, as well as physical appearance.1. Irene wanted to find out __________.A. what a parrot thinksB. why a parrot can speakC. how parrots make soundsD. if parrots speak English2. Alex learnt new words by __________.A. singing themB. reading themC. writing themD. rehearing them3. The article concludes that ___________.A. our pets understand what we sayB. dogs may speak to humans one dayC. humans are related to chimpanzeesD. mental ability can evolve in animalsBAs we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to. Ye re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”. Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We’re changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience –by the books that we’ve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we woul dn’t think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up moretime, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.4. The underlined expression “crack their spines” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.A. recite themB. re-read themC. recall themD. retell them5. It can be learned from the passage that __________.A. reading benefits people both mentally and physicallyB. readers mainly focus on feelings on their first readingC. we know ourselves better through re-reading experienceD. writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do6. The purpose of the passage is to __________.A. call on different understandings of old booksB. focus on the mental health benefits of readingC. bring awareness to the significance of re-readingD. introduce the effective ways of re-reading old booksCYou may have heard of the man who decided to repair the roof of his house. To be safe, he tied a rope around his waist and threw the other end of it over the top of the house. He asked his son to tie it to something secure. The boy fastened the safety rope to the bumper of their car parked in the driveway. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But a little while later, his wife, unaware of the rope securing her husband, she started the car and drove away. Imagine what the result would be.This story, factual or not, points to a great truth. It is a truth about where we place our security; about those things to which we’ve tied our safety lines. What is your rope tied to? Think about it. What do you depend on to keep you from disaster? Is your rope tied to a good job? Is it tied to a relationship with somebody you rely on? Is it tied to a company or an organization?Writer Susan Taylor tells of discovering how unreliable some of our safety lines really are. She tells of lying in bed in the early hours of the morning when an earthquake struck. As her house shook, she fell out of bed and managed to go to the doorway, watching in horror as her whole house cracked down around her. Where her bed had once stood, she later discovered nothing but a pile of bricks. She lost everything —every button, every dish, her automobile, every article of clothing. Susan trembled, scared and crying, in the darkness. In the early morning she cried and called out for help.Thoroughly exhausted, she thought that maybe she should be listening for rescuers instead of crying. So she grew still and listened. In the silence around her, the only sound she heard was the beating of her own heart. It occurred to her then that at least she was still alive and, amazingly enough, unhurt.She thought about her situation. In the stillness, fear abandoned her and a feeling of indescribable peace and happiness flooded in, the likes of which she had never before known. It was an experience that was to change her life forever.In the deepest part of her being, Susan realized a remarkable truth. She realized she had nothing to fear. Amazingly, whether or not she was ever rescued , whether she ever made it out alive, she sensed she had nothing to fear.For the first time in her life she understood that her true security did not depend on those things in which she had placed her trust. It lay deep within. And also for the first time, she knew what it was to be content in all circumstances. She realized that whether she had plenty or hardly enough, somehow she would be all right. She j ust knew it. She later wrote, “Before the quake I appeared very successful, but my life was out of balance. I wasn’t happy because I had been making money and always wanting more. My home, my job, my clothes, a relationship — I thought they were my security. It took an earthquake and losing everything I owned for me to discover that my security had been with me all along…There’s a power within us that we can depend upon no matter what is happening around us.”She had tied her rope to the wrong things.

It’s the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes a huge tree. As I sit here, silently thinking about my growth, I wonder over some questions which don’t have an answer but it’s because of such unanswerable situations that life has become a roller coaster ride.As a kid, I used to read a lot of story books. In one particular book, I reada story of a bird. From then on, that has become an integral (必不可少的) part of my life. It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it and nourishes the baby. When the bird learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me wonder. How could they so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort?One night, when I was deep in sleep, I got this particular dream. I was walking miles on the endless road, totally isolated but lined with beautiful trees on the either side. Fascinated by the greenery, I marched towards it only to end up deeper and deeper into the greenery. I happened to stop upon seeing something. It was a massive, wonderful house. I fell in love with that amazing part of art. Yeah, it was indeed a piece of art with every nook and corner touched artistically and lovingly.I don’t know why I felt that it was done lovingly. Maybe because, things turn out to be beautiful only when we put our love into it — just like the food prepared by mom which tastes more delicious with her love.I explored the house only to fall more in love with it. There was a sloping roof which matched with the greenery around; the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now when it is completely deserted. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house —of course, it was all dried up now. It’s really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which otherwise just become structures. Such liveliness and happening turns the house into a home. Th ey say ‘THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS’, but now I began to feel it. This is where my heart belongs. This is what I’m destined to do.When I woke up from the dream, I was clear about everything. I realized where that mile of walk was intending me to lead. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey me. And years later, when finally my turn of choosing my destination came, I simply closed my eyes, held that book in my hand, pressed it against my chest and relived the dream. When I opened my eyes, I was sure what to do. I decided to choose the road —less traveled. Yes, I took up architecture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do. I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did, to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it. This is my dream come true and the happiness that I gain now from this profession is indescribable.12.
