Population ChangeWhy is the world’s population growing? The answer is not what you might think. The reason for the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits, but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies. In 1900, people died at the average age of 30. By 2000 the average age was 65. But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century, declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st.Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of the world’s population live in regions where the figure is now below the replacement level (i.e. 2.1 births per woman) and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. You might think that developing nations would make up the loss (especially since 80% of the world’s people now l ive in such nations), but you’d be wrong. Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too, which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades.A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China, for instance. What does it imply? First, China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population zxxk decline hits the country. Second, if other factors such as technology remain constant, economic growth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble.Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise. Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive 50%. Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961. Why is this occurring? Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet and above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it. If current trends don’t bend, Russia’s population will be about the size of Yemen’s bythe year 2050.In the north of India, the population is booming due to high birth rates, but in the south, where most economic development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist, birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas. In total, 25% of India’s working-age population has no education. In 2030, a sixth of the country’s potential work forc e could be totally uneducated.One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration. As for the USA, it is almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010—2030. Moreover, the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it’s likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong economic growth over the longer term.Population Change71. 【答案】lower【解析】根据＂declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st＂可知，21世纪的出生率比20世纪低，且much/ even/far/a lot/ a little等修饰比较级，故填lower。

A"Shoeless" children are more likely to get to school earlier. leave later and read more. according to a new research by Bournemouth University.According to The Telegraph .researchers have observed tens of thousands of children who leave their shoes outside the classroom and found that pupils are more engaged in their lessons. which in turn leads to better academic performance. The research is in line with policies introduced in schools in England where children who go to class shoeless -following the steps of schools in Scandinavia in an effort to improve their academic standards and behavior.The study is based on observing and studying tens of thousands of children in over 100 schools in around 25 countries over the last ten years. For decades children in northern Europe have learned with their shoes off because they are left at the school door arrival due to snow.ice or mud.And now academics are calling on teachers in England to apply similar "shoeless" policies to give children the best possible chance of performing in their exams. Experts believe having children with no shoes in the classroom improves their learning because it makes them "feel at home" and more relaxed when learning.Professor Stephen Heppell. who leads the research at Bournemouth University, said: "Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on. The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair and we've foundthat 95 percent of them actually don't read on a chair at home. When they go on holidays they read lying down. Having conditions in the classroom that are like those at home means that more boys are reading in the classroom. Children also arrive earlier and leave later. which translates into half an hour of extra learning a day on average.”Wearing no shoes also means the cleaning bill decreased by 27 percent and schools need tospend less money on furniture because they don't need to buy a chair and a table for every child as they can sit on the 21. In the classroom. shoeless kids were found to be more_.A. absent-mindedB. politeC. focusedD. restless22. What can we conclude from Professor Heppell's words in Paragraph 5?A. Children learn faster in an upright sitting position.B. Classrooms should have their conditions improved.C. Habits formed at an early age are rarely changed.D. Children naturally prefer to read in a relaxed position.23. Why do children in northern Europe go to class shoeless?A. They have to he barefoot for their family conditions.B. They follow the customs front their ancestors.C. They feel more comfortable without shoesD. They have to leave the muddy shoes outside the classrooms.24. What could he the best title for the text?A. Policies help schools cut down on spendingB. Shoeless children do better at schoolC. "Shoeless" policies benefit kids in England$来&源：D. Good behavior pays off in the endBI was talking with a friend not long ago who mentioned he was taking his childrento Paris for the summer vacation, and the only thing I could think of was how grateful I was that my father never did that for me. Our vacations were spent 50 miles south of our home in Indiana, at Lane’s Camping Retreat.The campground had two lakes: one for fishing, the other for swimming. The swimming lake had a diving board about 300 feet high, and every year some kid made his way to the end of the board and then froze with fear. We’d run to the camp store and fetch Mr. Lane, who would walk down to the lake and yell at the kid to jump. But he never would. So Mr. Lane would climb the ladder, throw the kid over his shoulder, and climb back down.One year, our dad bought a tractor inner tube, which amazed us---we had begged him for years for something to float on, and he had resisted, saying it would cause wild excitement and we would drown. Then, unexpectedly, he bought the tube, which lasted several minutes before it broke and sank while my brother was on it. He would have drowned, except he was five feet tall and the water was only three feet deep, so he just stood up and walked to shore.After supper, we would sleep with the tent windows rolled up and Dad telling ghost stories. The raccoons（浣熊）would come out from the woods and move around the campfire, eating the spilled（散落的）pie filling.“What’s that?” Dad would ask. “Someone’s out there. Can you hear them?”We would pull our sleeping bags over our heads and dream of serial killers, then awaken to the sound of birdsong.Though I have never been to Paris, I can’t for the life of me consider myself deprived（被剥夺的）.25. What happened when the author’s brother floated on the water?A. He fell into the lake.B. He was hurt by the tube.C. He ran wild for several minutes.D. He drowned due to the excitement.26. How did the author feel about his friend’s summer trip?A. It was tiring.B. It was boring.C. It was costly.D. It was admirable.27. Why did Mr. Lane come to the swimming lake?A. To punish the naughty kid.B. To guarantee the kid’s safety.C. To teach the kids swimming skills.D. To help the kids overcome their fear of diving.28. For what reason did the kids pull their sleeping bags over their heads?A. They wanted to drive the raccoons away.B. They were frightened.C. They found the campfire unbearable.D. They felt very coldCProsocial behaviors are those intended to help other people. Behaviors that can be described as prosocial include feeling empathy(同感) and concern for others and behaving in ways to help or benefit other people.Prosocial behavior has long posed a challenge to social scientists seeking to understand why people engage in helping behaviors that are beneficial to others, but costly to the individual performing the action. Why would people do something that benefits someone else but offers no immediate benefit to the doer?Psychologists suggest that there are a number of reasons why people engage in prosocial behavior. In many cases, such behaviors are fostered during childhood and adolescence as adults encourage children to share, act kindly, and help others. Prosocial behaviors are often seen as being compelled by a number of factors including egoistic reasons (doing things to improve one's self-image), reciprocal benefits (doing something nice for someone so that they may one day return the favor), and more altruistic reasons (performing actions purely out of empathy for another individual).Characteristics of the situation can also have a powerful impact on whether or not people engage in prosocial actions. The bystander effect is one of the most notableexamples of how the situation can impact helping behaviors. The bystander effect refers to the tendency for people to become less likely to assist a person in distress when there are a number of other people also present. For example, if you drop your purse and several items fall out on the ground, the likelihood that someone will stop and help you decreases if there are many other people present. This same sort of thing can happen in cases where someone is in serious danger, such as when someone is involved in a car accident. In some cases, witnesses might assume that since there are so many other people present, someone else will have surely already called for help.Why do people help in some situations but not in others? Experts have discovered a number of different situational variables that contribute to (and sometimes interfere with) prosocial behaviors. First, the more people that are present decreases the amount of personal responsibility people feel in a situation. People also tend to look to others for how to respond in such situations, particularly if the event contains some level of ambiguity. Fear of being judged by other members of the group also plays a role. People sometimes fear leaping to assistance, only to discover that their help was unwanted or unwarranted. In order to avoid being judged by other bystanders, people simply take no action.Experts have suggested that some key things must happen in order for a person to take action.29. Which situation can be described as the bystander effect?A. When hearing an injured lady crying for help, the neighbors didn’t take action.B. On the scene of your colleague’s traffic accide nt, you called the police for helpC. A woman was to give birth on the train and you were the only doctor there.D. Seeing an old man slipping on the icy road, many people volunteered to help.30. What does the underlined word “distress” in the fourth par agraph mean?A. comfortB. despairC. peaceD. trouble31. Prosocial behaviors are motivated for all the following reasons EXCEPT________.A. the desire to better one’s self-imageB. instant benefits of helping othersC. parental influences in the early lifeD. empathy for another individual32. After the last paragraph, the most possible topic could be ________.A. situational influences on prosocial behaviorB. various reasons for prosocial behaviorC. possible benefits of prosocial behaviorD. skills and knowledge to provide assistanceDIn many countries, schools have long summer holidays, with shorter holidays in between. However, a new report suggests shortening school holidays to stop children forgetting what they have learnt during the long summer break. Instead of three school terms, it says, there should be five eight-week terms. And there should be just four weeks off in the summer, with a two-week break between the other terms.Sonia Montero has two children at primary school and works full-time. She supports the idea. “The kids,” she says, “have much longer holidays than me and I can’t afford to take several weeks off work, so I need someone to take care of them. But nobody wants the work in the summer months — they all have holidays of their own.”Not surprisingly, some young people disagree. Student Jason Panos says “It’s a stupid idea. I would hate staying at school in the summer. It’s unfair, too. The people who suggest this had long school holidays when they were young, but now they want to stop us enjoying the summer. The kids in Spain and America have much longer holidays than here, but they don’t forget everything they’ve learnt in a few months.”Nadia Salib agrees. “Sure,” she says, “the first week at school after the s ummer is never easy, but you soon get back into it. The real problem round here is that kids get bored after so many weeks out of school, and then some of them start causing trouble. But the answer is to give them something to do, not make everyone stay in school longer.”33. What does Nadia say about young people on summer holidays?A. They need something to do to enrich themselves.B. Long holidays are very bad for their education.C. They would like to spend more time at school.D. Long holidays should be shortened to stop them causing trouble.34. What does Jason say about long summer holidays?A. These days many older people have them too.B. Schools in other countries don’t have them.C. They can help children forget about school. D. T hey have little influence on children’s education.35. Why is Sonia in support of shorter school holidays?A. .She can’t afford to pay someone to look after her children.B. She is worried that her children will forget what they’ve learnt.C. She doesn’t get any summer holidays in her jobD. She can’t get anyone to look after her children in summer.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

四个选项基本上属同一词类，相同语义范畴，选择时要求上下文通篇考虑。
2017年高考完形填空采用的是记叙文体，文章本身的难度和选项设置的难度较之前均有所降低，但对考生利用上下文信息进行答题方面的能力要求更高。
和以往相比对连词的考查力度有所加大。
对考生理顺上下文逻辑关系有了更具体的要求。
该部分主要考查考生对语篇的理解、对语言知识在语篇中的综合运用，文章选材贴近考生生活。
在复习中，要培养扎实的词汇和语法功底，注意词汇的一词多义和常用搭配，平时注意积累并背诵实词的特定搭配及与其他形近词或意近词的辨析；要强化限时阅读训练，逐渐提高阅读速度，在训练中培养读文能力和根据文章的整体结构、上下文语境、词语搭配和同类词语差异等方面来理解文章的解题能力。
完形填空题的发展趋势是语言运用与情景交际融为一体，因此在复习中还要加强对语言的实际运用能力的培养和训练。
提及完形填空题，很多考生都感到犯难。
作为高考的一种常见传统题型，我们都很熟悉它的命题形式，但为什么这种熟悉的传统题型往往难以取得理想的分数呢？就高考英语试卷而言，完形填空从试题的语言素材上来讲，其实并不是很难。
首先，完形填空的阅读量并不是很大，一般文章长度为300词左右；其次，无论完形填空的文章还是后面的选项都不会考查很难、很偏的词汇，全部都在大纲所规定的范围之内。
为什么这种理论上并不是很难的考查形式却让很多考生束手无策呢？要解决这一难题，我们首先应从命题者的角度来审视完形填空题，了解其命制过程以及完形填空选文的布局结构。

2018-2019学年高考人物传记类试题英语试卷一、阅读理解1."Oh, my god. Are you serious?"That’s a reaction I often get when people hear the tale of my childhood.It’s a story I don’t often share. Growing up in a bad home, I learned to protect myself by not speaking up. I’ve seldom said anything about how badly I was treated and hurt as a child.I don’t talk about how my name was changed at least three times, what i t was like to live in my ran (箱式货车), or how I’ve struggled with anxiety, depression，and wanting to kill myself.But I learned to start speaking up for myself. I went on to earn two graduate degrees and I will complete my doctorate this year. I’ve also beco me a widely published author. So how did I get to where I am today?What’s helped me is surrounding myself with caring, loving people. I’ve learned day-to-day skills through research, trial and errors and with the help of skilled professionals.They’ve taught me how to slow down, to breathe, to be thankful for what I’ve got. They’re the ones who make my goals possible. They have also taught me to turn my past experiences into strength—to make the negatives into positives.My hope is that sharing my story might help others to see what is possible even in the darkest of times and help others to speak out.I don’t think I’m in any way special or unique. I’m a common man, no more deserving than anyone else. But for far too long, I’ve been afraid that others think I’m damaged goods. I’ve worried about how I might be treated differently.Pain and fear teach us to be silent. It’s time for that to change.I don’t know what tomorrow might bring, But one thing I’ve learned is that if we can mold on and find help, if we find ways to get through the day and speak up, we’ll not only survive, but become stronger than before.Our very survival can be an inspiration all on its own. And with love of my friends, I look forward to so much more than completing my education; I look forward to the future.（1）Which might not be related to the author’s childhood?A.DepressionB.DisappointmentC.DesperationD.Trust（2）How did the writer get today’s success?A.With the help of his parents.B.Learning by himself.C.Holding on and finding help from others.D.Being special and talented.（3）What’s the author’s purpose of sharing his story?A.To become stronger than before.B.To encourage others to make the most of their dark times of life.C.To become a better publisher.D.To change the ways to speak up.（4）What can we learn from the author’s experience?A.We should overcome the difficulty depending on ourselves.B.We should keep silent when meeting pain and fear.C.Managing to survive when in trouble can make us stronger.D.Our childhood 1ife decides our future.【答案】DCBC【考点】记叙文阅读人物传记类阅读细节理解高三推理判断目的意图【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者的童年充满了焦虑、压抑和痛苦，他甚至想要自杀。

话题语篇专攻练11人物传记(二)(建议用时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解A(2017·昆明模拟)A qualified doctor who rarely practiced but instead devoted his life to writing. He once said: “Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my lover. ”Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, was a great playwright and one of the masters of the modern short story.When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. Chekhov’s medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference(冷漠)many of his characters show to tragic events. In 1892, he became a full time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town Russia. Tragic events control his characters who are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov’s stories and plays. He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhov’s work combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity(敏感)of an artist.Some of Chekhov’s works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories, The Man in a Shell, about a school teacher’s extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.【文章大意】本文介绍了俄罗斯伟大的现代短篇小说家——契诃夫。

Yet people still can't agree what it means. On the surface, it's a fridge－magnet cliché(陈词滥调)on the importance of taking risks and choosing the road less travelled.But many argue it slyly mocks(暗讽) that American belief in the individual's power to determinehis or her future. After all, the poet admits that both paths look roughly similarly well－travelled.And how could he be sure he took the right one? He'll never know where the other leads. Looking back at our life histories, we tell ourselves we faced important dilemmas and chose wisely. But maybe only because it's too awful to admit we're stumbling(跌跌撞撞地走) mapless among the trees, or that our choices don't make much difference.Two psychologists, Karalyn Enz and Jennifer Talarico, throw light on these matters in a newstudy with a title that nods to Frost: Forks In The Road. They sought to clarify how people think about “turning points”versus “transitions”in life. A turning point, by their definition, is a moment that changes your future—deciding to leave a job or marriage, say—but often isn't visible from the outside, at least at first. “Transitions”involve big external changes: going to university, marrying, emigrating(迁出). Sometimes the two go together, as when you move to a new place and realizeit's where you belong. (“New Yorkers are born all over the country，”Delia Ephron said, “and then they come to New York and it hits them: oh, that's who I am.”) But it's turning points we remember as most significant, Enz and Talarico conclude, whether or not they also involve transitions.The distinction is useful: it underlines how the most outwardly obvious life changes aren'talways those with the biggest impact. Hence the famous “focusing illusion”，which describeshow we exaggerate(夸大) the importance of a single factor on happiness: you switch jobs, or spouses, only to discover you brought the same troublesome old you to the new situation. Before it became a joke, “midlife crisis”referred to a turning point that happens because your circumstances don't change, when your old life stops feeling meaningful. Turning points can be caused by mundane(世俗的)things—the offhand remark that makes you realize you're in the仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度wrong life—or by nothing at all.()59. Why do some people think the poem makes fun of the American belief?A. Because the two roads are more or less similar in the poet's view.B. Because Americans believe they can decide their future themselves.C. Because Americans can find their way easily in a forest just with a map.D. Because Americans surely know which road to take without consideration.()60. Which of the following can be considered as a transition?A. Your experience of midlife crisis.B. Your choice of the road to take.C. Your decision to travel abroad.D. Your move into a new flat.()61. What can we infer from this passage?A. Turning points involving transitions are often remembered as most significant.B. The biggest impact is often characterized with obvious outside changes.C. A fundamental change is often affected by more than one single factor.D. We can rid ourselves of the unpleasant past with the change of a job.()62. What's the best title of the passage?A. Is Our Fate in Our Own Hands?B. Must People Make Changes in Life?C. Should We Choose the Road Less Travelled?D. Are Turning Points Connected With Transitions?CThe idea came to Ralph Liedert while he was sweating in the Californian sunshine, havingbeen standing with his daughter for over an hour in a queue for a ride at Disneyland. What, he thought, if his T－shirt had a cooling system he could turn on, at the tap of a smart phone app, when he needed it. Luckily, Mr Liedert does have the means to make the dream reality, for he works at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, as one of a team there studying the rapidly growing field of microfluidics(微流控技术)．仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度Cooling vests already exist (used by racing drivers, motorcyclists and people who work inhot conditions). But the tubes through which the cooling water is being pumped, and the vests' need to be connected to outside units that cool this water, make them huge and clumsy. Mr Liedert thought VTT's microfluidics department could do things better.As its name suggests, microfluidics is the art of building devices that handle tiny amounts of liquid. Inkjet－printer cartridges(喷墨打印机墨盒) are a familiar example. Less familiar, but also important, are “labs－on－a－chip(芯片实验室)”. These are tiny analytical devices that transport fluids such as blood through channels half a millimetre or less in diameter(直径), in order to carry them into what holds analytical reagents(试剂). Sensors, then detect the resulting reactions and provide an instant analysis of a sample(样本). Designing labs－on－a－chip is the VTT microfluidics department's day job. One of its chips, for example, can tell whether water is affected by the bacteria that cause Legionnaires' disease.The department's biggest contribution to the field, though, is to have developed a way ofprinting microfluidic channels onto large rolls of thin, flexible plastic. It works by passing the plastic between two heated rollers, one of which contains raised outlines of the required channels. As the rollers squeeze the plastic they create a pattern of channels into one surface. A second plastic film is then melted over the top as a cover. This process might, thought Mr Liedert, be suitable for printing a microfluidic cloth that was thin enough and pleasant enough to wear as a cooling vest.The group's first model showed that such a material could indeed be made and used tocirculate cooled water. They are also looking at ways the water being circulated through the microchannels might be cooled. They have identified two. One uses a small heat－exchanger, the details of which they are keeping secret at this stage. The other employs evaporation(蒸发). It thus works in the same way that heat from circulating blood is removed by the evaporation of sweat. Whichever cooling system is applied, the electronics needed to power and control it would be shrunk into a small package contained on the back of the vest. This could be operated by hand or,as Mr Liedert originally envisaged in his Californian queue, by a wireless link to a smart phone.Moreover, what can cool down can also, if run in an opposite way, warm up. In Finland, where winter temperatures fall as far as －50℃，that might be the technology's killer app.()63.

The town is filledwith thousands of middle class college kids living off their parent's money.The coffee shop is where the ones come to play the part of sophisticated bohemians(放荡不羁的文化人). The pretensions(自命不凡) glow from their line－less faces as they sipcappuccinos and chew strawberry cookies. The boys to my right are discussing Nabokov with a serious air, a copy of Sartre's Cuba lies on the table.The young woman on my left is declaring that she can never allow her creativity to be killedby entering the work force. The man with her scratches his goatee(胡子) in agreement,occasionally suggesting they go back to his place to hear his new Washington Squares CD. Matt has just designed a new international symbol for peace. He moves from table to table trying to sell hand painted T－shirts that bear the design. Tomorrow he's leaving for the 25th anniversary Woodstock concert where he hopes to strike it rich with his creation.Gopha the skinny Indian boy feels like singing me a verse of “It Ain't Me Babe”when I ask him if he's a friend of Monica's. Jason is trying to talk Gopha into a dollar bet on a game of chess.

Despite this huge level of support, it is not generally understood exactly what child sponsorship actually involves.Most people tend to assume that one's chosen charity arranges for sponsors to be matched upwith an underprivileged child in one of the poorer underdeveloped countries. The idea is that you essentially take a child under your wing and act almost like a fairy godmother or father until he or she attains adulthood and can stand on his or her own two feet.To a large extent, this is a pretty accurate impression. New sponsors are matched withindividual children and can typically choose which country, which sex and which age group they would prefer. They then exchange photos and letters on a regular basis. This obviously helps the sponsors to see at first－hand how their donations are benefiting the children.The sponsorship itself costs approximately ￡15 per month and many donators choose tosponsor more than one child at once. One common wrong impression about these regular donations is that they go direct to the child's parents or guardian in order to pay for essentials suchas food or education. In reality, some of the longest established child sponsorship charities have found that this is largely ineffective and can cause anger among other children in the communitywho might not be so fortunate.Instead, some of the largest charities prefer to pool total donations and carry out largerschemes to assist the whole community. Nor are all the funds diverted(分配使用)towards obvious short term relief like providing food, water and basic healthcare. There is a strong emphasis onself－help and personal development so that future generations will be self－sustaining and not so reliant on outside assistance. To this end, sponsors will often find their donations finding their way into things like training courses to teach teenagers how to farm, small grants(补助金)for business仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度start－ups and introducing the concept of village－based savings and loan organizations.There is no doubt that the top sponsorship charities have been active for so long in manycountries that they are now taking a leading role in aiding the overall welfare of children and ensuring that they are not exposed to discrimination and abuse.Title: Child Sponsorship Moves Beyond the Basics仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度)分(满分25第五部分：书面表达.词左右的文章请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150Wishing AwayHave you ever noticed how people always want to be something they're not?Tall want to be short, young long to age, single dream of marriage, and no matter what bodyshape, everyone wants to lose at least another five pounds.), this wishing away of our lives.天性It's almost like a natural preoccupation(I am totally satisfied with “Think about it.

However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable .They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel s ays confidently,” It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.26.What is special about Samuel Osmond?A.

Population ChangeWhy is the world’s population growing? The answer is not what you might think. The reason for the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits, but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies. In 1900, people died at the average age of 30. By 2000 the average age was 65. But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century, declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st.Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of the world’s population live in regions where the figure is now below the replacement level (i.e. 2.1 births per woman) and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. You might think that developing nations would make up the loss (especially since 80% of the world’s people now l ive in such nations), but you’d be wrong. Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too, which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades.A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China, for instance. What does it imply? First, China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population zxxk decline hits the country. Second, if other factors such as technology remain constant, economic growth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble.Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise. Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive 50%. Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961. Why is this occurring? Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet and above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it. If current trends don’t bend, Russia’s population will be about the size of Yemen’s bythe year 2050.In the north of India, the population is booming due to high birth rates, but in the south, where most economic development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist, birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas. In total, 25% of India’s working-age population has no education. In 2030, a sixth of the country’s potential work forc e could be totally uneducated.One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration. As for the USA, it is almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010—2030. Moreover, the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it’s likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong economic growth over the longer term.Population Change71. 【答案】lower【解析】根据＂declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st＂可知，21世纪的出生率比20世纪低，且much/ even/far/a lot/ a little等修饰比较级，故填lower。

education outside of the classroom.At the age of eleven，he worked in a law office as an office boy where he became interested in reading.He was soon reading the works of famous authors like William Shakespeare and Homer，and was well on his way to becoming one of America’s most wellknown poets.By the time Whitman was seventeen years old，he had already worked as a printer’slearner，a worker，and a teacher.Though he disliked teaching，he excelled in the profession，developing a friendly relationship with his students；he even allowed them to address him by his first name.He also developed fresh teaching techniques and learning games to help his students with spelling and maths.In his early twenties，however，he gave up teaching to pursue(追求) a fulltime career as a journalist and poet.When Walt Whitman first appeared as a poet，his arrival onto the American literary scene was met with controversy.His first collection of poems，Leaves of Grass，was so unusual that no commercial publisher would print the work.In 1855 Whitman published，at his own expense，the first edition of his collection of twelve poems.Whitman’s poetic style was uncommon in the sense that he wrote poems in a form called parallelism(对比法)，in which his goal was to copy the flow of the sea and the quicklypassing nature of human emotion.A common theme in Whitman’s poetry is selfrealization.In his work，Whitman moves from conventional patterns of rhyme to create a unique rhythm and a multilayered，but truly American voice.“Although Whitman was considered a revolutionary by many，there is little doubt he loved his country deeply.” In his writing，he used slang(俚语) and various images，or voices，to create a sense of national unity.For Whitman，the “proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it”．Whitman has undoubtedly become a part of the cultural history and image of America.1．Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ________.A．Whitman’s educationB．Whitman’s early careerC．how Whitman became a poetD．why Whitman’s poems were popular2．When Whitman first appeared as a poet，________.A．he received a warm welcomeB．his literary road was not easyC．he became famous for his unusual styleD．his poetic style was copied by other poets3．What was Whitman’s greatest literary contribution?A．He expressed human emotion in his writing.B．He showed that flow of the sea in his poems.C．He used slang to show his love for his country.D．He created a unique rhythm and an American voice.Ⅱ.任务型阅读Socrates—an Ancient Greek PhilosopherSocrates was an ancient Greek philosopher，who helped to shape Greek beliefs.The ideas he created are present in our culture today.Socrates was a person full of curiosity.From the time he was a young man，Socrates searched for wisdom and truth.He gained wisdom by asking questions.Many people in Athens thought that they had answers.Socrates asked them questions and argued with them about different topics.He did not think they had the knowledge they claimed to have.Socrates challenged false ideas people had about things like justice，love，or courage.He would break down the ideas people held.Then he built new and more accurate ideas.Socrates felt that this was what philosophy was all about.Since then，many great philosophers have used this method to find truth.Throughout his life，Socrates showed no interest in money.He was also not interested in material items.Socrates would allow groups of men to listen to him speak.And he would never take money from them.He alwayswore the same clothes whatever the season.Socrates argued that his life was better because he had no material wealth.He felt he enjoyed his food more.he said he was stronger and healthier because he was not affected by the weather.He believed happiness came not from having more but from wanting less.By the end of the fifth century B．C.Athens was not a great city anymore.Politicians betrayed Athens.Socrates had made many people angry over the years.He had always expressed his opinions when he thought laws and policies were wrong.Athens had a new group of political leaders in power，who didn’t want to hear Socrates’ comments about them.They thought Socrates had a bad influen ce on the young people of Athens.Socrates was also accused of not worshipping the right gods.Charges were brought against Socrates.The politicians wanted to condemn Socrates to death.Socrates’ friends told him to leave Athens.They thought this was the only way for him to save his life.Socrates refused.He did not behave as most people in his situation would.Socrates said that he had always lived by the rules of Athens and he would continue to do this.He insisted on standing trial for his “crime”．Socrates knew he was notguilty of anything.The reason why he was charged was because he was different from others.Although people respected him，he also had made many people angry，so the jury(陪审团) said Socrates was guilty.When faced with the death penalty，a person could leave Athens forever.Most people chose leave rather than die.Socrates was not like most people.Instead of telling the jury that he would go，he told them he deserved a reward.Socrates believed he had done a great service by making people think.Socrates said that he tried to persuade every one of you not to think of what he had but rather of what he was，and how he might grow wise and good.The jury did not change its mind.Socrates was executed.He died when he drank hemlock，which is poisonous.Socrates was the first great Greek philosopher.He also helped to shape other philosophers that came after him.Plato，who got his start by studying with Socrates，and Aristotle，who studied with Plato，also changed Western civilization.Asking questions to discover the truth is still practiced today.And schools even today still teach this method to students.答案精析第11练人物传记类(二)高考高频单词与短语识记排查跟踪训练Ⅰ.1.achievement 2.contributed 3.fortunately 4.failures 5.creativeⅡ.6.D [考查非谓语动词。
