It's an interesting and original form of tourism which will no doubt revolutionize real travel, and even make actual life somewhatdifferent.On the banks of the River Rin, in the city of St. Alban, you can now take a half virtual, half real tour on horseback with the help of a piece of electronic equipment, earphones, and a science-fiction style visor (面罩) which contains a small camera. This modern equipment is called Life Clipper. It is the original idea of both Swiss inventor Jan Torpus, who studied in Barcelona, and German technology expert Nikolas Neecke.According to the instructions for the Life Clipper, once a tourist is equipped, he'll need a guide to assist him to get used to seeing the world8through the visor. Once on the Rin riverbank, the tourist starts his journey with the sounds of the water, which are created by sensors(传感器).From here the tourist travels on foot to theSt. Alban neighborhood, feeling and sensing the view with his hands, nose and mouth. What he sees are images between the year 1000 and the year 1500: carriages, princes, etc.This project sounds like something from science fiction and it looks funny when people in a visor try to touch a horse which isn't there. So far, this tourism has been a success only in Basilea, and will be introduced anywhere else in the world in the near future.This is a fun and unusual way of travelling. Surely it won't be long before we see a new and improved form of Life Clipper - one that isn't just for sightseeing, but also for other parts of our life. For example, instead of taking a bus to the office or university, we just sit at home and put on the visor, feeling as if we were m a different place, and virtual work becomes reality.41. The underlined word "revolutionize" in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to "________".A. createB. changeC. copyD. cover42. Which is TRUE about the Life Clipper?A. It is a small camera.B. It was invented by Jan Torpus.C. The science-fiction style visor is a part of it.D. Tourists can have a totally virtual tour with it.43. Paragraph 3 is mainly about __________.A. the history of virtual tourismB. the advantages of virtual tourismC. the ways of attracting more touristsD. how to operate Life Clipper44. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Tourists can get used to seeing the world on their own once equipped.B. Tourists can touch what they see through the visor.C. Life Clipper can make tourists see images of ancient times.D. Life Clipper has been used in other areas of our lives.45. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Virtual tourism is more popularB. Virtual tourism is more fantasticC. What the future of virtual tourism will beD. Virtual tourism is born【参考答案】41-45 BCDCD该篇为说明文。

Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’s War and Peace, is more than once described as having“fat little hands.” Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse.” He is said to be“undersized, “ with “short legs” and a“round stomach”. The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description—it seems not that far off from historical accounts—but his choice of facts: other things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point.It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812, Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry: doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war! “ he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon“walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly.”Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner. “He raised his hand to the Russian’s. . . face, “ Tolstoy writes, and“taking him by the ear pulled it gently. . .” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court. “Well, well, why don’t you say anything?” said he, as if it was ridiculous in hispresence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own.1. Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is.A. far from the historical factsB. based on the Russian historyC. based on his selection of factsD. not related to historical details2. Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because .A. he thought he should be the one to make the peace termsB. the Tsar’s peace terms were hard to acceptC. the Russians stopped his military movementD. he didn’t have any more army to fight with3. What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?A. To walk out of the room in anger.B. To show agreement with him.C. To say something about the Tsar.D. To express his admiration.4. Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is .A. ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guestsB. fond of showing off his iron willC. determined in destroying all of EuropeD. crazy for power and respect5. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A. A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.B. A writer may write about a hero in his own way.C. A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.D. A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.【参考答案】1--5、 CADDA较难题目特训：人物故事类阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

【配套K12】高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解选编练习(3)
2016山东临清市高考英语二轮阅读理解选编练习（3）阅读理解训练So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can't do that. He's the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You'll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right，” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you'll be more peaceful yourself.文章大意：该文章主要告诉我们在与别人争执时先向对方道歉，缓解朋友之间的关系，享受友情。

Decision- making under StressA new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative(负面的) consequences of a decision.The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.“Stress affects how people learn, ”says Professor Mara Mather. “People learn better about positi ve than negative outcomes under stress. ”For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images (影像) with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accur ately than those who hadn’t gone through the stress.This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress—at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also less easily recalled.The research also found that stress appears to affect decision- making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.Men who had been stressed by the cold- water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk- taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better; when caution weighs more, however, women will win.This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.1. We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to .A. keep rewards better in their memoryB. recall consequences more effortlesslyC. make risky decisions more frequentlyD. learn a subject more effectively2. According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their .A. ways of making choicesB. preference for pleasureC. tolerance of punishmentsD. responses to suggestions3. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, .A. women find it easier to fall into certain habitsB. men have a greater tendency to slow downC. women focus more on outcomesD. men are more likely to take risks【参考答案】1—3、AAD阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

体裁：记叙文话题：助人为乐时间：15分钟On a cold winter day，a group of strangers band together to save three children.The 30 miles of switchbacks(急转弯) that snake through the pinecovered mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat.But Roger Andersen，a 46yearold father of four，wasn't expecting any trouble on the road last New Year's Eve，when he set off for an unexpected ski trip to the Bear River Mounta ins with nineyearold daughter Mia，fouryearold son Baylor，and nineyearold neighbor Kenya Wildman.Andersen had driven through the canyon hundreds of times over the years.“We ski in that area at least 20 times a year，” says Andersen.“I know the spots t hat ice up a lot in the winter.”The weather was glorious for hitting the slopes—30 degrees and sunny—but the higher they drove，the slicker(滑溜溜的) the roads became.Rounding a sharp turn at mile maker 473，Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and tapped his brakes(刹车) suddenly.In an instant，the Honda Accord was sliding at 25 miles per hour toward the shoulder of the highway，then slipping down a steep tenfoot embankment(路堤) toward the cold Logan River.As it hit the water，the car tipped toward the passenger side，hesitated，and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.There was no time to tell the kids what to do.The crash had broken a few windows，and within seconds，the cab of the upsidedown car was filled with water.“It was frightening ho w fast we were completely underwater，” remembers Andersen，a softspoken product development manager.“You're thinking，‘Is this how it's all going to end？'”Then，Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids.Mia had been right next to him in the front seat；now，in the blackness，he couldn't find her.“I thought，if I don't get out，maybe none of us is going to get out.” Andersen untied his seat belt，swam through a broken window，and gasped for air at the surface.That's when he saw a group of men，about ten in all，appear at the top of the embankment.One after another，they jumped into the water，shouting,“Who else is in the car？”Andersensays respectfully,“It was like the sight of angels.”【语篇导读】Andersen的车不幸落入冰冷的河水中，一群素昧平生的人对车里的人展开了一场生死营救……1．Which word can best describe the feelings of most drivers when driving on this slope?A．Nervous.

I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy－five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed_off for the night. Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing all－night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A．He got an older model than he had expected.B．He couldn't return it when it was broken.C．He could have bought it at a lower price.D．He failed to find any movie shows on it.22．Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?A．ended all their programsB．provided fewer channelsC．changed to commercialsD．showed all－night movies23．How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A．By shaking and hitting it.B．By turning it on and off.C．By switching channels.D．By having it repaired.24．How does the author sound when telling the story?A．Curious.

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, firstclass roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.1．Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A．It is extremely important to develop tourism.B．Building roads and hotels is essential.C．Support facilities are highly necessary.D．Planning is of great importance to tourism.答案：D 本文一开始便讲如果没有适当的计划，旅游业会带来的各种问题，可见前文叙述适当计划的好处，以正反两方面来阐述。

His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There,a school teacher asked the youth his name.“J.C.,” he replied.She thought he had said “Jesse”,and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school,he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part-time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student,in the Big Ten meet in 1935,he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet,Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week,and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try,event by event. He did try,and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year,and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.“It was all right with me,”he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him,anyway.”Having returned from Berlin,he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country,either. In fact,he was not honored by the United States until 1976,four years before his death.Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground,and accepted money to race against cars,trucks,motorcycles and dogs.“Sure,it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time,however,his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,”he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”1.Owens got his other name “Jesse” when .A.he went to Ohio State UniversityB.his teacher made fun of himC.his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse”D.he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet2.In the Big Ten meet,Owens .A.hurt himself in the backB.succeeded in setting many recordsC.tried every sports event but failedD.had to give up some events3.When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years,”he means that the medals .A.have been changed for money to help him live onB.have made him famous in the USC.have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in lifeD.have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs4.What would be the best title for the passage?( )A.Jesse Owens,A Great American AthleteB.Golden Moment—A Lifetime StruggleC.Making A Living As A SportsmanD.How To Be A Successful Athlete( B )(2015黑龙江高三模拟试题二) As the population of the planet increases,so does the number of homes,businesses,parking lots,schools,airports and roadways.All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted.Humans demand these lights.They want their homes more comfortable and they want theirstreets safe.The problem is that researchers are finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.Less than 10 years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town,lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attractive meteor shower (流星雨).The area was short of homes,street lights and traffic.If I did that today,I wouldn’t be able to see the meteor shower as well.Due to the increase in street lights,I would surely be run over by a car.Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution.If you’ve ever taken a flight at night,the view is beautiful,but you must remember that all the light you see wastes electricity.The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity is worldwide.One of the saddest parts of light pollution is that most of it is unnecessary and most of the outdoor light that we use is wasted.One only needs to look at a row of street lights to see how much of the light shines upwards and lights the sky;a total waste of electricity.Additionally,somewhere electricity needs to be produced,and the production of electricity creates pollution by releasing greenhouse gases.This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife.Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lighted buildings,as they become puzzled by the light.It has been long known that tiny baby sea turtles become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.Fortunately,light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect.Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contribution to light pollution.5.It is implied in Paragraph 3 that the best way to deal with light pollution is .A.reducing the output of the lightsB.avoiding the use of unnecessary lightingcating people about light pollutionD.inventing environmentally-friendly lights6.Which of the following is the effect of light pollution?( )A.Many animals species have died out.B.More traffic accidents happen every day.C.The air we breathe may be polluted.D.It is much easier for us to watch meteor showers.7.What can be inferred from the text?( )A.We are almost at a loss how to deal with light pollution.B.Global warming results in light pollution in some way.C.Astronauts can’t see clearly in space nowadays.D.Some animals use natural light to direct their movements.8.What will probably be provided following the last paragraph?( )A.Helpful tips for surfing the Internet.B.Approaches to decreasing light pollution.C.Benefits of searching on Google.D.More bad effects of light pollution.活页综合提升练(八)Ⅰ.完形填空语篇解读:明星运动员的父母是他们成功的动力,还是他们成长的阻碍呢?孩子们真正想从运动中得到什么呢?1.C 根据语境可知这一万多名运动员来自世界各地, 因此要想知道他们是谁很困难。

The Maldives faces the threat of extinction from rising sea levels, but the government said on Thursday it was looking to the future with plans to build homes and a golf course that float.An increase in sea levels of just 18 to 59 centimeters would make the Maldives—a nation of tiny coral islands in the Indian Ocean—virtually uninhabitable by 2100, the UN’s climate change panel has warned.President Mohamed Nasheed has vowed a fight for survival, and last month he signed a deal with a Dutch company to study proposals for a floating structure that could support a conference centre, homes and an 18-hole golf course.“It is still early stages and we are awaiting a report on the practicality,” a government official who declined to be named said.The company, Dutch Docklands, is currently building floating developments in the Netherlands and Dubai. There was no immediate comment from the firm but its website said it undertook projects that make “land from water by providing large-scale floating constructions to create similar conditions as on land”.The Maldives began to work on an artificial island known as the Hulhumale near the crowded capital island of Male in 1997 and more than 30,000 people have been settled there to ease congestion. The city, which has a population of 100,000, is already protected from rising sea levels by a 30-million-dollar sea wall, and the government is considering increasingly imaginative ways to combat climate change. Nasheed, who staged the world’s first underwater cabinet meeting in October to highlight his people’s serious and difficult situation, has even spoken of buying land elsewhere in the world to enable Maldivians to relocate if their homes are completed covered.He has also promised to turn his nation into a model for the rest of the world bybecoming “carbon neutral” by 2020. His plan involves ending fossil fuel use and powering all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources such as burning coconut husks.1. Why do you think Mohamed Nasheed chose Dutch Docklands?A. Because it has experience in building floating structure.B. Because it has a good fame throughout the world.C. Because it charged much less than other companies.D. Because it supports building floating structures in the world.2. The Hulhumale was built with the purpose of .A. attracting more visitorsB. making it a new capitalC. making the capital less crowdedD. fighting against climate change3. According to the last two paragraphs, Nasheed is a person who .A. has succeeded in buying land abroadB. is more than well-knownC. has thought more for his nationD. has stopped using fossil fuel4. The underlined word “vowed” in paragraph 3 can be replaced b y .A. endedB. promisedC. failedD. weighed【参考答案】1—4、ACCB阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

The government of Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to represent all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the world’s food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on Earth.An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Cary Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if in his words “the worst came to the worst”. Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above zero degrees Celsius. The seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high-security doors.The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below zero Celsius. The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the world’s most secure gene bank.He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason.Norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. But security concerns delayed the plan. At that time, the Soviet Union was permitted use of Spitsbergen. New Scientist says the plan won United Nations approval in October at a meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization.1. The project is meant to_____.A. increase th e world’s food production in the futureB. carry out some scientific experiments on plant genesC. protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disastersD. build an exhibition centre of the world’s plant seeds2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the above passage?A. The government of Norway will perform the project alone.B. Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousand years ago.C. Spitsbergen is chosen because it is away from the threat of unclear war forever.D. Temperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place.3. We can infer from the text that_____.A. People will get newly-developed seeds from the center every yearB. The storage center will greatly promote the development of world agricultureC. Norway meant to have built the storage centre more than 20 years agoD. There haven’t been any seed storage centers in the world before4. What is probably the best title of the passage?A. Noah’s Ark of Plant Seeds in PlanB. The Best Place to Store SeedsC.

Robinson Diaz lives in a small cottage high in the Andes Mountains of South America. Diaz is a “cable racer”, and every morning he faces the difficult task of taking the local teacher to her school. To do this, he first walks for an hour up to a place the locals call Los Pinos, right at the edge of the 400-foot deep gorge(峡谷) of the Negro valley. Here, one end of a thick metal cable has been fixed to a wooden post. The cable stretches right across the deep valley to the other side, a kilometer away.A metal hook is fixed to the cable, with leather straps hanging from it. Diaz fastens the straps around his shoulders and waist, does a quick safety check and then, without hesitating, throws himself off the edge of the mountain. Attached to the cable by only the metal hook, he rapidly picks up speed and soon he is racing through the air. Crossing the valley by wire takes him 30 seconds, instead of the two hours it would take him to walk down through the rain forest and climb up the steep muddy slopes on the other side.As Diaz begins his trip, Diana Rios, a 23-year-old elementary teacher, is waiting on. The other side of the gorge for the moment when he will come racing through the mist towards her at 100 mph. She will then return with him, hanging on to him as he goes back along the cable. Diana had no idea when she took the teaching job that just getting to work in the village school would be dangerous. "At first I wanted to cry," she says, clutching her hook as the metal cable starts to rattle(喀哒作响) violently at Diaz’s approach. “But I soon got used to it.” She still prefers to go with Diaz, though, rather than making the frightening and hazardous(危险) crossing on her own. For the inhabitants(居民) of Los Pinos, the wire cable is a lifeline. For more than 50 years, it has served the community as a form of transport to and from the rest of the world. Everything that comes arrives via the cable-bricks and wood for building, sacks of rice and corn. Pregnant mothers, who must get to the nearest clinic, cross the wire during the darkness of the night, returning with their newborn babies. It is dangerous, but they have no choice.This time Robinson Diaz makes a perfect landing on Diana’s side of the gorge. For him, the dangers of this daily journey are insignificant. “What I’m really scared of is snakes,” he says. “This is nothing in comparison.” Then Dianna straps herself into her harness and hooks herself up to the wire behind Diaz, holding on to him tightly. He turns, flashes her a smile, releases the brake and kicks away. Within seconds, teacher and cable-racer have disappeared back into the mist.1. Robinson Diaz has a difficult task every morning because he has to________.A. climb a long way up a mountainB. get to the edge of a valleyC. help someone get to workD. walk through a dangerous area答案解析：答案为C。

According to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gigawatts of electricity every year. Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills (see picture) to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put them anywhere.The project, called Hywind, is the world’s first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮发电机). Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2. 3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar(see picture), a technology Hywind’s creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables (缆索); these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. Hywind’s stability (稳定性) in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September.To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but it’s difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, t he whole spar’s centre of gravity must be moved much closer to the ocean’s surface. To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox(变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades (see picture).Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet’s surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available.1. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of .A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorB. the spar which is floating in deep-sea waterC. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windD. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface2. To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting .A. on the sea floorB. on the spar topC. at sea levelD. behind the blades3. Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can .A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsB. make financial profits by producing more turbinesC. settle the arguments about environmental problemsD. explore low-carbon power resources available at sea【参考答案】1-3 BCD介绍说明类阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Historians usually just study great things that happened in the past time, but Drew Faust has made history! On February 11, 2007, Faust was named president of Harvard University. She is the first woman to hold the position in the school’s 371-year history.“I am a hist orian,” she said. “I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the past, and about how it shapes the future. No university in the country, perhaps the world, has as remarkable a past as Harvard’s.”“And our commo n ente rprise is to make Harvard’s future even more remarkable than its past. That will mean recognizing and building on what we already do well. It will also mean recognizing what we don’t do as well as we should, and not being satisfied until we find ways to do better.”It is her great desire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas that have given Drew success in a world controlled by men. “This is a man’s world, my girl, and the sooner you learn that, the better off you’ll be.” Drew Faust recalls her mother telling her this when she was young, but she didn’t buy it.Faust grew up in a well-off family in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley in the 1950s. Even then, she was a trailblazer(先驱). A conversation with her family’s black handyman (零工) and driver inspired her to write a letter, on school notebook paper, to President Dwight Eisenhower.She asked that he help bring US citizens together in the south, a much divided part of the country at the time.“Drew Faus t is a historian with her eyes on the future,” said Susan Graham, a professor of Harvard. Many of the university’s schools said that they believe Harvard will have a brighter future under the leadership of Drew Faust.1. Why does the writer say Drew Faust has made history?A. Because she is a historian.B. Because she was president of Harvard University.C. Because she was the first woman to be president of Harvard University.D. Because Harvard has a remarkable past2. What do we know about historians?A. They usually study great things that happened in the past.B. They are usually presidents of universities.C. They are usually born in well-off families.D. They are usually women.3. What does the underlined word “buy” in the fourth paragr aph mean?A. acceptB. expectC. purchaseD. afford4. What did her m other mean by saying “This is a man’s world, my girl...”?A. To encourage her to do man’s work.B. To tell her to do things as a girl should do.C. To ask her to be well-off.D. To expect her to be a historian.5. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Faust was born in the north of the US.B. She wrote a letter to President Eisenhower when she became president of Harvard.C. Faust’s d esire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas has given her success.D. Historians just care about great things that happened in the past.【参考答案】1—5、CAABC阅读理解。

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won t he race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.1.

In a cab, a woman seemed in such a hurry．She constantly rushed the cab driver to drive quickly．She was so absorbed in her own thoughts of getting to the airport as soon as possible that she was not aware they were going by a different route.All of a sudden, a young man got inside the cab．He took her handbag in which she had put her visa, passport, and all the money for the trip.The cab driver, who was in collusion with the robber, left her in the exactly middle of a dark street．She thought that she was rather unfortunate in the very situation. During the very night, she was told a piece of shocking news．Tears came down her cheek．Flight 360, the plane that she should have got on board, had crashed．Had she not lost her important belongings, she could surely have lost the thing far more precious——her life.Sometimes bad things really happen．There are times when nothing seems to go our way．So what should we do about it?

Parents used to rely on physical punishments to control their children's bad behavior, which has been proven to be very harmful．Therefore, most parents now choose to simply yell, thinking that languageprobably won't hurt as much．But is that really so?Using harsh words such as "lazy" or "stupid" is just as harmful as hitting, according to a new study carried out at the University of Pittsburgh, US．"It cannot reduce or correct their problem behavior," said Professor Ming - Te Wang, leader of the study, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal．"On the contrary, it makes it worse．"In the study, which involved 976 two - parent families, researchers asked the kids about their behavior problems, while asking their parents how often they had yelled at them． Nearly half of the parents admitted that they'd shouted at their children in the past year．Researchers noted that the kids whose parents used more harsh words experienced more behavior problems after-wards, including fighting, stealing, lying as well as symptoms of depression．"Adolescence is a very sensitive period when kids arc trying Lo develop their self -identities（个性）．When you yell, it makes them feel they are not capable, and that they are worthless and useless," Wang said．"This may explain why so many parents say that no matter how loud they shout, their teenagers don' t listen．While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment, it doesn' t teach children to be-have how parents want them to, according to Professor Alan Kazdin of Yale University, US．What parents need is to praise their children for good behavior．If parents really need to punish their kids, they should try things like taking away smartphones and reminding them that good behavior will get them back． After all, "we want to teach kids, not hurt them," said Kazdin．1．How do most parents react to their children's misbehaving now?A．Letting them alone．B．Beating them．C．Shouting at them．D．Praising them．2．The study finds that using harsh words ．A．can make things even worse B．inspires children to do better C．corrects children's bad behavior D．has a better effect than hitting 3．According to Professor Ming - Te Wang, ．A．physical punishments are sometimes necessaryB．children are more self - centered in adolescenceC．parents should never punish kids for misbehavingD．harsh yelling damages children's self - confidence4．In Professor Alan Kazdin's opinion, parents shouldA．set good examples for their childrenB．take away their children' s smartphonesC．praise their children for good behaviorD．always think in their children's shoes5．What does the underlined word "them" in the last paragraph refer to?A．children B．bad behaviors C．parents D．smartphones【参考答案】1—5、CADCD【由山东省枣庄市2014高考英语3月模拟试题改编】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。
It' s never a real problem for us when the weather gets cold． We have many different ways of coping with the cold．We can put on more clothes, stay next to a fireplace, turn on the air conditioner or simply travel to a warmer city to spend the winter．But things are not as easy for plants Unlike humans, pla nts can’t move to escape the cold or generate heat to keep themselves warm．So how do they manage to survive the freezing winter?The cold is a big challenge for plants．Their living tissues can be damaged when they freeze．It's like a plant's equivalent(相等物）to frostbite（冻疮）．Also，the process of freezing and thawing（解冻）can cause air bubbles to form in the plant's water transport system．If enough of these air bubbles come together as water thaws they can block the flow of water from the roots to the leaves and kill the plant． To live through cold weather，plants have developed three strategies，Some plants，such as oak trees, avoid freezing damage by dropping their leaves, before the winter chill sets in-effectively shutting off the flow of water between roots and leaves—and growing new leaves and water transport cells when the warm spring returns. Other plants, pine trees for example, protect them-selves by narrowing their water transport cells, which makes it easier for cells to travel among air bubbles．The third stratef;yi8 also the most extreme．Some plants; die on the ground in winter and start growing as new plants from seeds when conditions get warmer．However, these smart strategies were developed \nmry8lowly－over millions of years of evolution．This leads scientists to worry that plants may not be able to deal with human-caused climate change, which has only started occurring over the past few decades．Scientists are hoping to find possible ways to save plants from the threat of climate change．1．What is the text mainly about?A．Different ways for people to keep warm．B．How plants live through the freezing winter．C．How plants develop the 8tratef;ies to keep warm*D．The ways to save plants from the cold,2．If the water transport from roots to leaves 18 blocked, ．A．the plant will suffer from f'rostbiteB．air bubbles will be formedC．the plant's living tissues will be damagedD．the plant will be killed3．Oak trees protect themselves by ．A．stopping the water transport from roots to leavesB．dropping their leaves to grow seedsC．slowing the flow of water from roots to leavesD．storing enough water in the roots4．What does the underlined phrase “sets i n” mean in Paragraph3?A．stops B．begins C．leaves D．returns5．What is the main idea of the last paragraphA．Plants can, easily adapt to climate change．B．Scientists are making efforts to save plants．C．Climates change is a great threat to plants．D．Plants are developing new strategies to survive．【参考答案】1—5、BDADC较难题目特训：介绍说明类阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
