第五组(建议用时:25分钟)阅读理解AWhoever enters my home for the first time will always be impressed with a small and white envelope. It is stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no address. It has hung through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years or so.It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. He didn’t hate the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it: overspending, the crazy running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and the dusting powder for Grandma and the gifts given in desperation because you couldn’t think of anything else.Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to ignore the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way.Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling(摔跤) at the junior level at the school he attended and shortly before Christmas, there was a non­league match against a team sponsored by an inner­city church, mostly black.These youngsters, dressed in sports shoes so ragged that shoestrings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, presented a sharp contrast to our boys in their blue and gold uniforms and brand new wrestling shoes.As the match began, I was surprised to see that the other team was wrestling without headgear, a kind of light helmet designed to protect a wrestler’s ears. It was a luxury(奢侈) that the poor team obviously could not afford. Well, we ended up beating them. We took every weight class. And as each of their boys got up from the mat,he walked around in rags, holding his head high with a kind of street pride that couldn’t acknowledge defeat.Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won.”he said,“They have a lot of potential, but losing_like_this_could_take_the_heart_right_out_of_them.”Mike loved kids—all kids and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseball. That’s when the idea for his present came.That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought a variety of wrestling headgears and shoes and sent them to the inner­city church without leaving my name.On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and in succeeding years.For each Christmas, I followed the tradition, one year sending a group of mentally disabled youngsters to a baseball game, another year a check to a pair of elderly brothers whose home had burned to the ground the week before Christmas, and so on.The envelope became the highlight of our Christmas. It was always the last thing opened on Christmas morning and our children, ignoring their new toys, would stand with wide­eyed expectation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to reveal its contents.As the children grew, the toys gave way to more practical presents, but the envelope never lost its attraction. The story doesn’t end there.You see, we lost Mike. When Christmas rolled around,I was still so wrapped in grief that I barely got the tree up. But Christmas Eve found me placing an envelope on the tree, and in the morning, three more joined it. Each of our children had secretly placed an envelope on the tree for their dad.The tradition has grown and someday will expand even further with our grandchildren standing around the tree with wide­eyed expectation watching as their fathers take down the envelope. Mike’s spirit, like the Christmas spirit, will always be with us.1.According to the passage, Mike hated Christmas because ________.A.he didn’t fully understand the true meaning of ChristmasB.he didn’t like people spending too much money on presentsC.he disliked receiving the same gifts like shirts or sweaters every year D.he hated rushing into a store crazily to purchase a tie for Uncle Harry 2.The writer uses the example of the two teams mainly to ________.A.express he r sincere sympathy on lower­class teenagersB.reflect the financial difficulty of the inner­city churchC.show she was proud that her son’s team won the gameD.explain how she got her inspiration of sending Mike a special gift3.What did Mike mean by saying the sentence underlined in Paragraph 7?A.They tried to pick themselves up even if they failed in the match.B.They might lose heart after they were bitterly defeated in this way.C.They wouldn’t acknowledge the defeat because of the unfairness.D.They didn’t live up to their potential because they lost faith in themselves.4.Which of the following best describes the writer?A.Brave and earing.B.Sensitive and patient.C.Generous and careful.D.Considerate and warm­hearted.5.What can we infer from the passage?A.The envelope became the highlight of their Christmas.B.The children now prefer new toys to practical presents.C.Mike’s spirit will have an everlasting influence on his children.D.The writer sends various gifts to children every Christmas.6.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.A Special Gift B.A White EnvelopeC.A Christmas Note D.A Memorable TraditionBChild prodigies (神童) cause awe, wonder and sometimes jealousy: how can such young children display the kinds of musical or mathematical talents that most adults will never master, even with years of hard practice? It is widely acknowledged that prodigies are born, not made. Practice alone isn’t going to turn out the next 6­year­old Mozart.So finds a recent study of eight famous young prodigies, which sought to make it easier to understand the causes of their talent. The study found a few key characteristics these youngsters had in common. For example, they all had exceptional working memories, far better than ordinary people. Surprisingly, however, the study found that not all of the prodigies had high IQs. Indeed, while they had higher­than­average intelligence, some didn’t have IQs that were as remarkable as their early achievements would suggest.The authors also found that prodigies scored high in autistic (自闭症的) features, especially in their extreme attention to details. They scored even higheron this feature than people diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger’s syndrome, a high­functioning form of autism (自闭症) that typically includes great enthusiasm about details.Three of the eight prodigies had a diagnosed autism disorder. Four of the eight families included in the study reported autism diagnoses in first­or­second­degree relatives, and three of these families reported a total of 11 close relatives with autism. In the general population, in comparison, about 1 in 88 people have either autism or Asperger’s.Other unusual similarities between prodigies and those with autism: they’re both more likely to be male and both are associated with difficult pregnancies, suggesting that what they had gone through before they were born may play a role in their development.Yet, very little research has been done on the connection between autism and extreme talent. As a matter of fact, prodigies appear to benefit from certain autistic tendencies. In other words, these children may have some genetic feature or learned skill that allows them to maintain intense focus, without damaging their social skills or suffering from other disabilities that typically accompany autism disorders. Comparing these children with those who have autism could therefore potentially help explain what goes wrong in those who develop disabling forms of autism and what goes right in others with similar features who simply benefit from the condition and are able to improve their abilities.7.According to Paragraph 1, what is the common idea towards child prodigies?A.They are not created.B.Practice can create child prodigies.C.They must be created.D.Musical child prodigies are created within several years.8.Which of the following is TRUE according to the recent study?A.All the child prodigies have limited working memories.B.All the child prodigies don’t have high IQs.C.All the child prodigies have autism at the same time.D.Child prodigies come into being after a good education.9.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.All these eight prodigies are diagnosed with autism.B.Prodigies are more likely to suffer from autism than the ordinary people.C.Children diagnosed with autism are likely to become a prodigy.D.Child prodigies and those with autism have something in common.10.What is the main idea of the passage?A.What talent and autism have in common?B.What are the characteristics of talent?C.What are the findings about a mental disease called autism?D.What is autism?11.Such an article is most likely to be found in ________.A.a business magazineB.a newspaperC.a sports program on TVD.the Science Column of a magazine阅读理解A1.解析:选B。

第九组(建议用时:45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解The following are six strange restaurants for a truly unique dining experience.Ithaa Undersea Restaurant—Rangali Island, MaldivesLocated at the Conrad Maldives, Rangali Island Resort is a gorgeous and intimate underwater restaurant (seating capacity is 14 people) that is more than sixteen feet below sea level. Opened in 2005, the all­glass restaurant has a menu consisting of fresh seafood, beef, and other delicious dishes. Encased in a transparent roof, the restaurant offers its diners a 270­degree panoramic view(全景) of sea creatures swimming in the Maldives’ crystal clear waters. While a zinc paint(含锌漆) coating protects Ithaa’s steel structure from corrosion(腐蚀), the salt water and marine growths sticking to the paint will eventually break it down. Make a reservation while you still can.Dinner in the Sky—Montreal, CanadaGot an appetite for high altitudes? Originating in Belgium, the concept involves crane(吊车) lifting guests, who are safely strapped into “dining chairs” 160 feet up in the air, along with a table, wait staff, and everything that’s required to enjoy a meal floating above the ground. The novelty­based mobile restaurant has gained popularity worldwide and is now offered for limited run periods in cities around the globe, including Montreal, where it arrived in the summer of 2008.Redwoods Treehouse—Warkworth, New ZealandBuilt in 2008, the pod­shaped structure is located over 32 feet above the ground in a redwood tree in the town of Warkworth. Diners access the venue via an elevated(升高的) treetop walkway built of redwood milled on site. The striking venue is used exclusively for private functions and events, with a capacity of 30 guests.De Kas—Amsterdam, The NetherlandsLess strange than amazing:Imagine a restaurant where the menu selections are prepared using the freshest possible ingredients, and by freshest, we mean harvested in the field at sunrise of the same day you are dining there. Welcome to De Kas, an old greenhouse in Amsterdam that was due to be pulled down in 2001, but was saved by an ambitious Michelin star chef, Gert Jan Hageman, who changed the unique twenty ­six­foot high glass building into a restaurant and nursery. Mediterranean vegetables, herbs and eatable flowers are grown and harvested at the greenhouse and garden near the restaurant, and Hageman can be found in De Kas’ nursery daily, working the soil, planting, weeding and harvesting herbs and vegetables.The Bubble Room—Captiva Island, FloridaOpened in 1979, this restaurant decorated with classic toys from the 1930s and 1940s started as a small one­room eating place, and today has grown into a multi ­themed restaurant occupying all three stories of the house it originated in.Staff are known as “bubble scouts”,each wearing a different crazy hat.Moving trains are on all three floors and photographs of old­time movie scenes and stars decorate every available wall spac e.“It’s always Christmas at the Bubble Room” is a theme made obvious by the presence of the many Father Christmases,the Elf Room,and year ­round Christmas lights.Music from the 1920s to 1940s serves as the restaurant’s soundtrack,and the bright and cheerful pastel colors of the venue make it a wonderful experience.Favorites on the current menu are original items offered since the restaurant’s early days such as Socra cheese(a cheese served flamed tableside),Bubble Bread,and many of the large­sized desserts.O. NOIR—Montreal, CanadaDining in the dark has been around for quite some time abroad, but the concept was only first introduced in Canada in 2006, with the opening of O. NOIR in Montreal and then a second location in Toronto in 2009.O. NOIR’s philosophy is that a diner’s enjoyment is increased when his sight is eliminated as the other senses become heightened. Flashlights,cellphones, and luminous(发光的) watches are banned from the dark restaurant. The evening starts in a lit bar where guests place their orders;then they are led by a server into an unlit dining room, where a two­hour seated dinner service begins with servers explaining where everything is placed on the table. This novel experience certainly puts a new spin on the term “blind date”.1. According to the passage,which restaurant is the most recent one?A.O. NOIR.B.De Kas.C.Redwoods Treehouse.D.Ithaa Undersea Restaurant.2.If one wants to enjoy a wonder bird’s­eye view of the city,he/she can go dining at the restaurant in ________.A.Toronto B.MontrealC.Warkworth D.Amsterdam3.What do we know from the passage?A.People have to use flashlights because it is dark in the dining room at O. NOIR.B.Two dozen people can enjoy a meal and a view of sea animals at Ithaa Undersea Restaurant.C.De Kas, once a greenhouse, prepares its menu using fresh vegetables harvested at sunset.D.The Bubble Room offers guests a nostalgic(怀旧的) and festive dining atmosphere.4.From which of the following magazines can you find this passage?Ⅱ.任务型阅读A.Organize your workB.Set a price for servicesC.Cover your businessD.Identify a needE.AdvertiseF.Push the limits of your comfort zoneTips for Teen EntrepreneursIt’s harder to find jobs in today’s tough economy.If you need to earn money over the summer or after school,why not become your own boss?Here are 5 tips on starting your own business:1.________.Think about the kinds of services that might do well in your area.If you live in a suburb and your neighbors travel long distances to work,they may need dog walking help.Pet sitting is another good line of business during the summer or over the holidays when people travel.If there are lots of senior citizens in your area,a computer help business might do well.Keep your ears open for opportunities.Ifyou have your license and you hear your mom’s friend talking about how her kids need to be picked up at the same time from different places,suggest she hire you to help.You also can offer to pick up anything from groceries to dry cleaning,or clean anything from windows to cars.2.________.Once you know what you want to do,figure out how much to charge.Search online to see what others charge for the service you plan to provide.Teens often have an advantage: Less experience means you may be able to charge less,making your business more competitive.3.________.Print flyers(传单) describing the services your business offers.List your rates and your phone number or email address.Drop off a flyer at every house in your neighborhood.Give some to parents to take to work.Ask local stores or coffee shops if you can post a flyer on their community notice board.If you do this,make a bunch of tabs along the bottom with the service you offer and a phone number,so people can tear one off instead of taking the entire flyer.4.________.Once you have clients,you’ll need to keep track of them.You don’t want to forget to walk someon e’s dog because you were feeding someone else’s fish.Buy a calendar and write down every job you do each day and the time you’ll do it.Keeping a calendar also reminds you of how many times you provided a service so you can bill your clients.A parent,teacher,or school counselor can help you get started on business planning.Who knows,your business may grow so fast that you’ll have to hire friends to help!5.________.If you drive for work,you’ll want to be sure you have insurance—especially if you’ll be driving other people’s cars or transporting their kids.You’ll also need to look into any coverage you might need for taking care of other people’s property or pets.Ask a parent,school counselor,or teacher for advice.If you’re lucky and your business brings in a lot of money,talk to your parents about whether you might need to pay taxes.With a little preparation,running your own business can bring great rewards,in both money and experience.Ⅲ.书面表达假设你叫李华,你将作为高三毕业生代表,根据以下要点在毕业晚会上用英文做一个简短的告别演讲。

第二十一组(建议用时:45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解More and more people take part in marathons these days—over 30,000 people will run the London Marathon this weekend, for instance.But it’s not just the 26 miles and 385 yards that could be a daunting prospect.“I have to admit to being completely frustrated by the blocking and for 18—19 miles was just keeping away from people and being held up,”one participant grumbled after the 2012 London Marathon.“I had to overtake a lot of people and ended up with bruised(淤肿的) forearms from all the elbows,”said another.How do such crowding problems arise, and could they be reduced? Some researchers believe that we can find the answers through a more familiar system in which jams appear—road traffic flow.Martin Treiber, of the Technical University of Dresden in Germany, has previously developed models for traffic flow.One of the first attempts to model traffic flow was made in the 1950s by James Lighthill and his collaborator Gerard Whitham of Manchester University.They considered the traffic as a kind of liquid flowing down a pipe, and looked at how the flow changes as the fluid gets denser(浓稠).At first the flow rate increases as the density increases, since you simply get more stuff through in the same period of time.But if the density becomes too high,there’s a risk of jams, and the flow rate drops sharply.Treiber’s model of a marathon uses this same principle that the flow rate first increases and then decreases as the density of runners increases, thanks to an sudden switch from free to crowded flow. He assumes that there is a range of different preferred speeds for different runners, which each maintains throughout the race.With just these factors, Treiber can calculate the flow rate of runners, knowing the “carrying capacity”(承载能力) at each point on the route.This allows Treiber to figure out how blocking might depend on the race conditions—for example, for different starting procedures.Some marathons start by letting all the runners set off at once (which means those at the back have to wait until those in front have moved forward).Others assign runners to various groups according to ability, and let them start in a series of waves.Treiber has applied the model to the annual Rennsteig half­marathon in central Germany,which attracts around 6,000 participants.The traditional route had to be changed in 2013,because the police were no longer willing to close a road to ensure that runners could cross safely.It could pass either over a 60m wooden bridge or through a tunnel.Treiber used his model to predict the likely blocking caused in the various options.The model predicted that a mass start would risk an overload of runners if the bridge were to be used.Only by moving the starting point further back from the bridge could the danger be avoided—and even then, if some of the numbers assumed in the model were only slightly inaccurate, there was still a risk of jams at the bridge.On the other hand, no dangerous blocking seemed likely for the tunnel route.The run organizers consulted Treiber’s team, and eventually chose this option.1.What is the worst thing while running a marathon?A.The long distance.B.Too many participants.C.The dangerous blocking.D.Serious injuries in forearms.2.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.James Lighthill is the first expert trying to model traffic flow.B.The denser the flow is, the faster the flow rate becomes.C.The flow rate increases in the beginning because fewer people passed together.D.The flow rate increases first and then decreases later when the flow is too denser.3.What is NOT true about the Rennsteig?A.It has much less participants than the London Marathon in 2014.B.It has a shorter distance than the London Marathon.C.The route was changed because the traditional one is not safe any longer.D.The participants running this marathon will pass a tunnel because this choice is safer.4.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Make a comparison between marathon and road traffic.B.Running a marathon is somewhat dangerous if it is not well organized.C.Introduce a new technology to solve the blocking problem in marathon.D.Some advice for people who are to run a marathon.Ⅱ.任务型阅读A.Get started!B.Forget your failures.C.Find and use your positive voice.D.Think about how far you have come.E.Spend time with people who inspire you.F.Accept failure as a positive learning experience.Realizing your dreams is not a matter of possibility; it’s a matter of motivating yourself to focus on the right things.You know you should be doing something, but sometimes you just don’t feel like doing anything.This discouraging situation can last a long time if you don’t head it off and take action.Here are some daily motivation tricks that might work for you.1.________This is by far the most important tip in this article, because in the end, all of the other tips in the world won’t make as much of a difference as this simple and timeless instruction:Sit down and get a move on! Do you feel the push-back of laziness? Reading more about motivation won’t help. Reviewing your to-do lists won’t help. Only doing actually helps get everything going. So stop thinking about how hard the task is going to be or how long it’s going to take you.Not starting is failing.Tell yourself, “As soon as I get going, I’ll feel more motivated.”And you’ll realize it’s not nearly as hard as you thought it would be.2.________Be aware of your self­talk and stay confident.You have the choice to replace negative self-talk with a more encouraging and friendly voice.A voice that will consider your aim as not just a possibility, but a probability; A voice that does not look at the possibility of success before taking action, but rather uses self­belief as its driving force; A voice that all things are possible to those who commit to their dream.Tell yourself over and over again that you can do it. See what effect it has. Persist with this kind of possibility and eventually you’ll feel better about whatever it is you want to get done, and you’ll even start to fool yourself into believing it’s true.3.________There is no better way to recharge yourself for improvement than spending time with someone who motivates you.They are smart and can always encourage you to be better.Study their qualities.Study their habits.Surround yourself with them, talk to them, learn from them; they are already living and producing results at a level you admire and expect pare stories, successes and failures.Let their inner light guide you.4.________You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it.Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done.Think about it.Write down your past successes.Consider using a journal to keep track of them.You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results.It’s a great motivator to see how much you have improved and how far you have come.Be happy with your progress and move on.5.________Do not judge unsuccessful attempts and mistakes as an indication of your future potential, but as part of the growth process.Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime.When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it.Being defeated is a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent.And most people that gave up didn’t realize how close they were to success.Push through!Ⅲ.书面表达假定你是李华,将于2016年7月从新华外语学校毕业。

第十五组(建议用时:45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解Nowadays, Chinese love to consume TV shows, particularly American TV shows. Some shows have become especially popular for certain reasons. When you meet Chinese people, try to mention these shows to strike up a conversation with them, as it is likely that they are fans of these shows.1. The Big Bang TheoryTalk to any young Chinese person, and chances are that they are crazy about the lives of Sheldon, Raj, Howard, and Leonard. Many viewers describe themselves as in love with Sheldon, and they appreciate the science jokes and content on the show. People admire the young geniuses on the show and the large amount of funny jokes, but also recognizes the show’s message that being smart isn’t everything in life. The university lifestyle depicted on the show and the friendships and witty arguments between the main characters are especially attractive to Chinese audiences.2. House of CardsChina is ridding itself of corruption(腐败) today. It’s no surprise, then, that a thrilling and brilliant drama about political corruption currently catches on in China. China is the top country where the show is being wildly pirated(盗版) on Chinese websites. The Chinese government has also featured prominently on the show. Even high­ranking Chinese politic al officials have been known to watch religiously this show and keep up with the exploits of Frank Underwood. Some Chinese politicians consider Underwood as a role model, fans create special videos to honor the show, and many viewers like to learn about American politics and society from the show, even though what they learn from the show may not be totally accurate. It’s interesting to wonder what a Chinese version of this show would be like.3. Gossip GirlChina has become much wealthier in the last several decades, and people across the world always like to observe rich people’s lives and imagine themselves being rich as well. Like the Chinese movie series Tiny Times,Gossip Girl rose to fame in China because Chinese viewers enjoyed watching the lives of rich Westerners and living wealthily through the characters. Many Chinese fans also admired the romance between Chuck and Blair, and strongly supported them getting married. The show is full of passionate love affairs, pleasant young people, and brilliant drama that fascinated Chinese audiences.4. Two Broke GirlsMany young Chinese viewers like following the struggles of Max and Caroline as they attempt to earn money and build their own cupcake business. This show has become extremely popular in China and is frequently downloaded online. One reason why this sitcom has been successful in China is that for many Chinese who are young like Max and Caroline, they must deal with the same problems in life. Finding work and earning enough money to join the middle class is difficult for many Chinese people today. The Chinese TV show WoJu《蜗居》 shows a family working to save money for an apartment and dealing with many situations caused by poverty, wealth, and greed. Young Chinese work extremely hard to earn enough money to buy cars,houses,and find someone to marry, and they can easily sympathize with characters living in poverty and working towards similar goals.1.Para. 1 suggests that ________.A.China has been open to AmericaB.American movie industry develops wellC.American shows are very popular in ChinaD.Chinese enjoy talking about American shows2.Viewers struggling for life probably sympathize with characters by watching ________.A.The Big Bang Theory B.House of CardsC.Gossip Girl D.Two Broke Girls3.Which of the following is NOT right?A.The Big Bang Theory tries to convey that being smart means everything.B.House of Cards is pirated more in China than other countries.C.Gossip Girl and Tiny Times have a similar theme.D.Two Broke Girls tells about a story of struggling for a better life.4.The underlined word “depicted” means ________.A.learned B.describedC.made D.acceptedⅡ.任务型阅读[2015·浙江省高考命题研究专家原创卷(一)]A.Reading helps you gain experience from other people.B.Reading contributes much to your real personal life.C.Reading makes you expose yourself to new things.D.Reading makes you connect with the world.E.Reading helps you make self­improvement.F.Reading improves your understanding.The Importance of ReadingEveryone knows that reading is important, but have you ever asked yourself why that is so? In this post, I will list out some reasons why reading is important.1.________Through reading, you experience and explore new things, new information, new ways to solve a problem, and new ways to achieve one thing. You might find your new hobbies within it. You might actually explore one thing you really like and it may end up becoming your career and success in the future. Exploration begins from reading and understanding.2.________Reading does help you form a better you, doesn’t it? Through reading, you begin to understand the world more and have a greater understanding of a topic that interests you, for example: how to build self­confidence, how to make a plan better before taking action, how to memorize things better and more. All of these start from reading.Through reading, you create a structured path towards a better understanding and better action to take in the future.3.________The more you read, the more you know one thing: the A to Z of a thing. Let me give an example here: reading allows you to learn more about crocodiles and their habits. Then you know you need to be aware of places they usually lurk (潜伏) for the purpose of staying away from being harmed or bitten. It can also help you find out the truth of something,right?Reading also increases the understanding of the rules of life, in order for you to adapt to society better. To play well in a game, you first need to understand the rules well.4.________When you are reading, you are actually obtaining the knowledge from someone. It can speed your success towards a goal, as you don’t need to repeat the same mistake while focusing on the right path in achieving one thing. Life is too short for you to keep repeating the mistakes that were done by other people in the past, in order for you to reach the results that someone might have already reached. There are more than 4 thousand billionaires and 12 million millionaires today. To become one of them, the first thing is to learn and get to know their past. It iswhat they did in the past that makes them where they are today. Reading is a great path to get to know them, and learn from these great people.5.________Communication is the most important tool which can be transmitted through reading. As you communicate through reading, you understand more, and thus you can communicate better with people. Through reading, you build a more solid foundation for communication. It is one of the most important tools we use every d ay to connect with each other. Whereas if you don’t read, you can’t even connect with the world and what people are talking about out there, including understanding what this article is all about.Ⅲ.书面表达假设你是李华,你在读美国中学生Jack的博客(blog)时了解到他即将作为一名交换生来北京学习,希望能够寄宿在一名擅长英语的中学生家里,以便更好地了解中国文化。

第十八组(建议用时:45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2015·河北七校高三联合考试)High heels,coffee cups and dogs have been regarded as three of the most dangerous things to have in a car.While men were responsible for the greater number of accidents reported,women played their part by driving in high heels.Putting fashion over function meant 44 percent of female motorists had been prevented from using the pedals correctly by their high heels.Being keen on a caffeine kick while driving can also create an accident if they leave empty coffee cups lying around their vehicles.Twenty percent of those surveyed admitted they had crashed their cars or had a near miss after a deserted coffee cup or an empty drink bottle rolled under their brake pedals.However,it is not just wearing and eating that cause a threat from inside the car; man’s best friend could also cause a catastrophe if not safely secured.One in eight motorists claimed to have had a scrape(擦伤) or miss on the road due to their dogs’ wandering fre ely,climbing into the front seat or trying to escape through the windows.The accidents meant drivers took their eyes off the road for more than three seconds each time,according to the poll of 2,000 British motorists.The survey has found drivers will pick up an average bill of £ 261.47 for the damage caused by every crash.Londoners were the most at risk of an accident closely followed by motorists in the West Midlands and Wales.Janet Connor,a managing director,said many accidents could be avoided if people cleaned their cars regularly,as one in ten drivers involved in crashes admitted to driving inside a mountain of waste materials.She said,“The possible dangers and distractions outside the car are well­known but as the evidence suggests,those within the car are often forgotten.”1.What mistake do women drivers most probably make while driving?A.They wear expensive clothes.B.They wear shoes with high heels.C.They drink too much coffee in cars.D.They take their dogs without tying them.2.Those who like drinking coffee often have accidents because________.A.the coffee may make them feel faintB.the coffee may make the car smell terribleC.empty coffee cups may make the brake failD.deserted bottles look the same as brake pedals3.Why shouldn’t drivers put their dogs in the car while driving?A.Dogs may bark loudly if seeing traffic lights.B.Dogs may walk around or even try to escape.C.Dogs may break the windows to get fresh air.D.Dogs may make the inside of the car dirty.4.We can mainly learn from the passage that ________.A.people often neglect the dangers outside the carB.accidents will be avoided if cars are cleaned regularlyC.dangers within the car should be given more attention toD.only 10% of the drivers remember to keep their cars cleanⅡ.任务型阅读[2015·浙江省高考命题研究专家原创卷(三)]A.Halloween always falls on the evenings of October 31st.B.You are welcome to take part in the Halloween party.C.Another impressive feature is the carved pumpkins.D.Halloween is the most significant festival in the world.E.You may wonder why kids dress that way.F.In this festival you should follow some principles.Halloween is a time to celebrate the bountiful harvest as we prepare for the winter. Coupled with this is the inescapable and memorable night of Halloween when children dress up in costumes and start to trek through the neighborhood looking for sweet treats. The Halloween cry of “trick­or­treat” resonates through the night.1.________In old days, it was thought that on Halloween night, ghosts would return to this world looking for prey. In order to avoid being recognized by these demons, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark, so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits. Nowadays the adults have gradually abandoned the practice of dressing up in costumes based on the fact that they can handle the offense quite easily, but the tradition still remains for children who are more likely to become the targets of the returning ghosts.2.________Legend has it that this day marked the end of summer and the harvest. This day also marks the beginning of the dark and cold winter. This time is often associated with death. Many “spine­tingling”stories are told during the week preceding Halloween to create a frightening atmosphere. We hear many ghost stories and scary stories involving cemetery tenants rising out of their graves to stalk (跟踪) people and we often hear about “blood­sucking” vampires searching for a bloody drink to help them maintain immortality. Of course, these are all superstitions, not real stories, but it gets people into the spirit of Halloween.3.________For instance, children start roaming the neighborhood until around 6 p.m. and usually continue ringing door bells and knocking on doors until around 9 p.m.. Also, there is an unwritten rule that children should only go to houses that have outside lights on as a signal that the children are welcome to come and “trick­or­treat ”. In addition, after shouting “trick­or­treat”, the children’s expectation is that they will be showered with tasty delicious sweet candy. Chocolate seems to be the favorite choice. Last but not least, supermarkets and drugstores carry a wide variety of sweets just for Halloween. One quarter of all the candy sold annually in the U.S. is purchased for Halloween. Americans spend an estimated 6 billion dollars, thus making it the second largest commercial holiday.4.________This gourd­like orange fruit gets inscribed with ghoulish faces and is frequently illuminated with candles. The practice of decorating a “jack­o’­lantern( 南瓜灯)” comes from an Irish folk legend about a man named “Stingy Jack” who tricked the devil a couple of times. When “Jack” died, God did not want such a person in heaven, thus throwing “Jack” back to the devil who in turn pun ished Jack. Jack’s punishment was to forever roam the earth with a coal burning inside the gourd. Just for this very reason you can find a number of carved pumpkins hanging on the doorsteps or on the porches everywhere.5.________International Student and Scholar Services will be hosting our annual Halloween party on Friday, November 1, 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m..Please come dressed up in your scariest costume, and if you have children, please bring them. There is no doubt that all of the participants will have a wonderful time in this party and if you miss it I am sure that you will regret it for a long time. If you still have some questions about the party to be held in honor of the festival, please see theattached poster.Ⅲ.书面表达假设你是李华,你的朋友Tom邀请你5月20日去他们学校参加文化交流活动并向外国朋友介绍中国的传统绘画。

Why do so many people share even the minutest details of their daily activities? In this article, we will try to understand the motivating factors for people to share information online.1.________Often, we verbally share information with our friends in the office or at home. Our intention behind sharing information is to educate,entertain, or pleasantly surprise our friends. This is true while sharing information online as well. If you look at the Facebook wall posts of your friends, you will realize that most of their status updates are usually famous quotes, entertaining videos, inspirational images, funny jokes, etc..As The New York Times study found out, 94% of the respondents said they put in a lot of thoughts on how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others.2.________The information that they share reflects the type of personality they have, and the things they care about. Also, many people who are not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the presence of others, find it convenient to share the information online with like­minded to The New York Times study, 68% of the respondents said that they shared to make people know more: about them and the things they are concerned about.3.________78% of the respondents in The New York Times study said they are so busy that they do not have the time to meet each other in person. The Internet has been used as a great alternative to meet friends and improve the relationship between friends. A lot of people now “meet” each other online, rather than in traditional places like restaurants and pubs.4.________Sharing information that people think will make a difference to the viewpoint of others who are a part of the World Wide Web, or add to theirperception (理解) of things, is one of the basic motivations why people engage in online sharing. Also, the fact that people are appreciated for their efforts encourages them to share information online frequently. In The New York Times study, 69% of the respondents said that they shared because it made them feel that they were more involved with the world.5.________The Internet is a great medium to share information quickly and get the word out, and this is one of the primary reasons why people use it to spread information about certain causes and brands. 84% of the respondents said that they shared to lend their support to causes that they care about.As we can see, a majority of users make good use of the Internet to engage with people, and get a sense of fulfillment.Ⅲ.书面表达近年来,人们对中国传统节日的关注程度日益下降,而洋节日却越来越受到人们的追捧。

第二十九组(建议用时:25分钟)阅读理解AHe was in the first third grade class I taught at Saint Mary’s School in Morris, Minn.All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund was one in a million.Very neat in appearance, he had that happy­to­be­alive attitude that made even his occasional misconduct delightful.Mark often talked constantly. I had to remind him again and again that talking without permission was not acceptable.What impressed me so much, though, was his sincere response every time I had to cor rect him for misbehaving.“Thank you for correcting me, Sister!” I didn’t know what to make of it at first, but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a day.One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often, and th en I made a new teacher’s mistake.I looked at him and said,“If you say one more word, I am going to tape(用胶带封上) your mouth shut!”It wasn’t ten seconds later when Chuck, another student, blurted out, “Mark is talking again.” I hadn’t asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it.I remember the scene as if it had occurred this morning. I walked to my desk, very deliberately opened my drawer and took out a roll of masking tape.Without saying a word, I proceeded to Mark’s desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth.I then returned to the front of the room.As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked at me.When I walked back to Ma rk’s d esk and removed the tape, his first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.”One Friday, I asked the students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.Then I told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.It took the remainder of the class period to finish the assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed me the paper.That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and I listed what everyone else had said about that individual.On Monday I gave each student his or her list.Before long, the entire class was smiling.“Really?” I heard the whispers.“I never knew that meant anyt hing to anyone!”“I didn’t know others liked me so much!”Then Mark said, “Thank you for teaching me, Sister.”No one ever mentioned those pieces of paper in class again.I never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents.Several years later, after I returned from vacation, my parents met me at the airport.Mother gave Dad a side­ways glance and simply said,“Dad?” My father cleared his throat as he usually did before saying something important.“The Eklunds called last night,” he bega n.“Reall y?”I said.“I haven’t heard from them in years.I wonder how Mark is.”Dad responded quietly.“Mark was killed in the Vietnam War,” he said.“The funeral(葬礼) is tomorrow, and his parents would like it if you could attend.”I had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. Mark looked so handsome, so mature.After the funeral, Mark’s mother and father found me.“We want to show you something,”his father said.“They found this on Mark when he was killed.We thoughtyou might recognize it.” Opening a billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times.I knew without looking that the pieces of paper were the ones on which I had listed all the good things that Mark’s classmates had said about him.“Thank you so much for doing that,” Mark’s mother said.“As you can see, Mark behaved better and better at school.It’s all because of you and your list.”Mark’s classmates started to gather around us.Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said,“I still have my list.It’s in the top drawer of my desk at home.” Chuck’s wife said, “Chuck asked me to put this in our wedding album.”“I have mine too,”Marilyn said.“It’s in my diary.” Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her w allet and showed her worn list to the group.“I carry this with me at all times,” Vicki said without batting an eyelash.“I think we all saved our lists.”That’s when I finally sat down and cried.1.The purpose of Paragraph 1 is to ________.A.introduce the topic of the storyB.inform readers of the writer’s jobC.introduce the main character of the storyD.make a comparison between the writer’s students2.Which of the following aspects of Mark impressed the writer most?A.His bravery shown in the Vietnam War.B.His constant talking without permission.C.His neat appearance and easy going manner.D.His sincere response after his bad behavior was corrected.3.Mother’s giving Dad a side­ways glance and father’s clearing his throat show that ________.A.they felt it hard to tell the writer about Mark’s deathB.they were not sure whether the writer would attend Mark’s funeralC.they were afraid that the writer woul dn’t believe the news of Mark’s death D.they felt it necessary to persuade the writer into comforting Mark’s parents 4.Which can be seen as the climax (the most important point) of the story?A.Students’ being asked to list each ot her’s strongest point on the paper.B.The writer’s making a big X with two pieces of tape over Mark’s mouth.C.The writer’s being shown the worn pieces of paper kept in Mark’s wallet.D.Students’ smiling and whispering when they received the lists on Monday.5.At the end of the story, the writer sat down and cried, realizing that ________.A.Mark behaved so well that he gained the respect of his classmatesB.the lists made as a task in class should have meant so much to her students C.Mark’s death in the Vietnam War was a heavy blow to his familyD.Mark’s classmates kept their lists as a sweet memory of their happy school life6.What is the message conveyed in the story?A.Attitude means everything.B.Praise works wonders in a way.C.Patience is necessary for a teacher.D.Friendship between classmates is unforgettable.BFive or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention.A professor who conducted research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else.Because we can’t see what wecan’t see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act.He had us watch avideo of six people tossing (投掷) basketballs back and forth, three in white shirtsand three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the peoplein white.The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me.I’m dyslexic (患阅读困难症的), and the moment I saw thattape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep trackof their movements, so I let my mind wander.I became curious, though, when about30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩) walked in among the players.She (welater learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, beather chest with her fist, and then went away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the professor asked how many people had counted at leasta dozen basketball tosses in all.Hands went up all over.He then asked who had counted13, 14, and congratulated those who had scored the perfect 15.Then he asked, “Andwho saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my tableand one of only three or four in the large room to do so.He had set us up, trappingus in our own attention blindness.Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t theone who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managedto miss the gorilla in the midst.Attention blindness is the fundamental organizing principle of the brain, andI believe that it presents us with a great opportunity.My take is different fromthat of many neuroscientists: where they see the shortcomings of the individual,I sense an opportunity for cooperation.Fortunately, given the interactive natureof most of our lives in the digital age, we have the tools to control our differentforms of attention and take advantage of them.It’s not easy to admit that everything we’ve learned about how to pay attentionmeans that we’ve been missing everything else.It’s not easy for us logical, intelligent, confident types to admit that the very key to our success —our abilityto discover a problem and solve it, an achievement obtained in all those years inschool and beyond — may be exactly what limits us.No one ever told us that our wayof seeing left out everything else.7.Which of the following is TRUE about the writer when the tape was played?A.Like everyone else, the writer was counting carefully.B.The writer had difficulty keeping track of the tossers’ movements.C.The writer showed great curiosity about what the players were doing.D.The writer tried hard to stop her mind from wandering.8.What’s the total number of basketball tosses by the player in white shirtsin the video?A.13. B.14.C.15. D.30.9.Most of the people failed to notice the gorilla in the video because ________.A.they focused on the basketball tossing onlyB.they were trapped by the basketball playersC.they did not know what they were supposed to doD.they did not listen to the lecture carefully10.The underlined word “take”in Paragraph 5 most probably means “________ ”.A.understanding B.impressionC.scene D.preference11.In the writer’s opinion, attention blindness ________.A.should be viewed as a shortcoming of the individualB.might be overcome if we can discover problems and solve themC.makes it possible for us to work together for a shared purposeD.helps us to become logical, intelligent and confident types of people阅读理解A1.解析:选C。

第二十六组(建议用时:25分钟)阅读理解A(2015·高考浙江卷)In 2004,when my daughter Becky was ten,she and my husband,Joe,were united in their desire for a dog.As for me,I shared none of their canine lust.But why,they pleaded.“Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it.“Really?You’re going to walk the dog?Feed the dog?Bathe the dog?” Yes,yes,and yes.“I don’t believe you.” We will.We promise.They didn’t.From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day),neither thought to walk the dog.While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots,to schedule her vet appointments,to feed and clean her,Misty knew this on day one.As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small,medium,and large),she calculated,“The_medium_one_is_the_sucker_in_the_pack.”Quickly,she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合).She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers,beam her need,and then wait,trusting I would understand—which,strangely,I almost always did.In no time,she became my fifth appendage (附肢),snoring on my home­office couch as I worked,cradling against my feet as I read,and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.Even so,part of me continued to resent walking duty.Joe and Becky had promised.Not fair,I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked.“Not fair,” I’d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.Then one day—January 1,2007,to be exact—my husband’s doctor uttered an unthinkable word:leukemia(白血病).With that,I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital,doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort.During those six months of hospitalizations,Becky,12 at the time,adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school.My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment’s notice for medical emergencies.Every part of my life changed;no part of my old routine remained.Save one:Misty still needed walking.At the beginning,when friends offered to take her through her paces,I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.As the months went by,I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty.The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet,peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day’s medical drama unfolded.The evening walk was a time to shake off the day’s upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.When serious illness visits your household,it’s not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar.Pretty much everyone you know acts differently.Not Misty.Take her for a walk,and she had no interest in Joe’s blood counts or bone marrow test results.On the street or in the park,she had only one thing on her mind:squirrels!She was so joyous that even on the worst days,she could make me smile.On a daily basis,she reminded me that life goes on.After Joe died in 2009,Misty slept on his pillow.I’m grateful—to a point.The truth is,after years of balking,I’ve come to enjoy my walks with Misty.As I watch her chase after a squirrel,throwing her whole being into the here­and­now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory,she reminds me,too,that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future,there’s almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.1.Why didn’t the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story?A.She was afraid the dog would get the family into trouble.B.It would be her business to take care of the dog.C.Her husband and daughter were united as one.D.She didn’t want to spoil her daughter.2.Which of the following is the closest in

story that tells about this common and natural human sentiment.The busiest woman in Labrador during one bitter cold Christmas not very long ago, was an Australian nurse by the name of Kate Austen. But Nurse Austen was not too busy to acknowledge with a long, friendly letter every gift of food or clothing received for distribution to the natives in that cold and poor district of the north.Among the gifts was a box of knittings for children, knitted(编织) and sent by a woman in Toronto.Nurse Austen was busy, exhausted and not feeling too well that winter.She could have written just ordinary routine notes of acknowledgement.But_that_was_not_her_way.She sat down and wrote the woman in Toronto a real letter telling all about the village, and the names of the children who were wearing the knitted gloves and caps, and what they said when they got them,and how they looked when they wore them.She wanted the woman who had knitted andsent all those lovely knittings “to see how much happiness and warmth she had created”.Not long after,she received the following answer from Canada.Dear Miss Austen:Your letter made me happy.I did not expect such a full return.I am eighty years old, and I am blind.There is little I can do except knit, and that is why I knit so many caps and sweaters and scarves.Of course I cannot write this, so my daughter ­in­law is doing it for me.She also sewed the seams and made the buttonholes for the knitted things.I know something of the work you are doing.At the age of nineteen I married a man who was going to China to be a missionary(传教士).For forty years, with an occasional year at home in America, we worked in China, and during that time our two sons and a daughter were born to us, of whom only one son survives.After forty years, my husband’s health began to fail.We returned to the States where he took charge of a settlement house in Brooklyn, New York.A surprising number of the problems we faced there were similar to the problems we had met in China.When my husband died, I came to Toronto to live with my son and daughter­in­law.They are very good to me, and I pride myself that I am little trouble to them, though it is hard for a blind old lady to be sure of anything.What I most want to say,my dear, is this.For sixty years I have been making up missionary packages of such clothing or food or medicine or books as I could collect.In various parts of the world and to various parts of the world I have sent them.Sometimes I have received a printed note of acknowledgement from the headquarters depot or mission board, sometimes nothing.Occasionally I have been informed that my contribution was planned for Syria or Armenia or the upper Yangtze.But never before in all that time have I had a personal letter picturing the village and telling me who is wearing the clothing and what they said.I did not suppose that ever in my lifetime I should receive a letter like that.May God bless you.Sincerely yours,Laura N.

第二十组(建议用时:25分钟)阅读理解AThe event that stands out in my memory happened one morning in 1983 when I was 14 years old.I was at home with my mother, getting ready for the afternoon session of school.I was doing my homework when I heard raised voices.At first I thought nothing of it—customers in the motorcycle shop directly below us often became unruly and loud, but I soon realized this was different.“Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop,” someone yelled.Then a thick burning smell filled the air.When I opened the front door of our flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke, billowing up from the ground floor, greeted me.The motorcycle shop had caught fire.My mum, who had been working in the kitchen, hurried to the living room.We rushed out of the door and along the corridor through the smoke.We were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Mum stopped in her tracks.She turned around and headed back the way we came.I had no idea what she was doing, but I followed suit.Mum had suddenly remembered the Korean lady in her 70s who lived next door to us, who we called Makcik.Mum began banging on Makcik’s door, but to no avail.As the smoke thickened around us, I could see many of our neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety.“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” I cried.Mum refused to give up.“I know Makcik’s still inside,” she said as she pounded the door. “Go downstairs,shaji.Go now!”However, frozen with fear, I stood rooted to the spot.By then, both of us were coughing and our eyes were stinging.Time seemed to stand still, though we were probably there for only two or three minutes.Just as I was beginning to suffocate(窒息), the door opened.Makcik stood there, totally confused.Mum was right—she had been unaware of what was happening.Grabbing her hand, Mum led Makcik downstairs and outside to a safe spot where people had gathered to witness the fire.The firemen had just arrived and set about fighting the blaze, which was reaching up to the two floors above the motorcycle shop.Comprehending the gravity of the situation, Makcik broke down.Holding my mother’s hands tightly, and with tears flowing down her cheeks, she spoke to Mum.I could not hear what she said, but there was no mistaking her gratitude.I learned later that Makcik was sleeping when the fire broke out.I dread to think what would have happened if Mum had not turned back for her.Soon the firemen put out the billowing flames.There were no deaths or injuries, though the motorcycle shop was completely destroyed.Although the fire had damaged our corridor badly, it was put out before it could spread into our flat.Our home had been saved, though everything was covered in soot(黑灰) and an awful smell hung in the air.And, sadly, my pet lovebirds were dead.I felt terrible for not saving them in my haste.However, the thought of Mum’s courageous act in saving a human life brought great relief.Years later, I asked Mum about this incident.She said she was familiar withMakcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping.When I asked if she was scared, Mum replied:“When a loved one is in danger, the thought of fear never crosses th e mind.”During my school days, whenever I wrote an essay about courageous deeds, I always focused on soldiers risking their lives to save others.It never occurred to me to write about my mum who had, in her determined way, saved our elderly neighbor.Today I know better.Maria Thomas, a timid and modest lady, someone who would not be mistaken for a superhero, had turned out to be my real hero.1.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.firefighters broke in and saved Makcik from the fireB.Makcik ran for safety like everyone else after the fire broke outC.Makcik survived the fire owing to my mum’s timely rescueD.people headed back to Makcik’s flat at the request of my mother2.Receiving no response from Makcik, Mum still refused to leave because ________.A.she didn’t realize that the fire was quickly surrounding herB.she was sure that Makcik must be sleeping at that timeC.she was convinced that Makcik must be too scared to moveD.she was informed that Makcik was in desperate need of help3.What made Makcik break down after she reached a safe spot?A.The big fire was spreading rapidly.B.People’s terrible screams shocked her.C.Mum’s sudden appearance moved her deeply.D.The serious situation made her confused.4.Which of the following best explains the sentence “When a loved one is in danger, the thought of fear never crosses the mind.”?A.Love makes all hard hearts gentle.B.Love warms more than a thousand fires.C.Love is never paid but with true love.D.Love fears no danger.5.The writer mentions the soldiers and Mum in the last paragraph to ________.A.highlight Mum’s courage and determination by making comparisonsB.show respect for firemen’s courageous deeds by providing explanations C.convey Mum’s influence on my attitude to danger by offering analyses D.emphasize the neighbor’s gratitude to Mum by giving examples6.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.My Neighbor:A Narrow EscapeB.The Firefighting:A Thrilling StoryC.My Mother:The superheroD.The Fire:An Unforgettable ExperienceBMost parents of kids under age 8 don’t worry about how much time they spend watching TV or using other media, from computers to smart phones to tablets PCs, according to a new survey that found a child’s use of media often reflects how much time parents spend in the similar way.“We generally found that media us e is not a source of conflict in the home” for families with young children, Ellen Wartella, a researcher from Northwestern University,told USA Today.She led a survey of 2,326 parents who have children aged 8 and younger.It found that in 80 percent of families, children’s media use was not a problem, with 55 percent “not too” or “not at all” concerned about it.It also showed parents have more positive than negative feelings about how mediaconsumption affects a child’s learning and the development of creativity.The exception is video games, which are viewed more negatively than TV, computers or mobile devices.“Parents rated video games as more likely to have a negative effect on children’s school performance,attention time, creativity, social skills, behavior and sleep than any other medium,” the researchers said in a news conference about the survey.“The findings exposes a generational shift (转移) in parental attitudes about technology’s role in young children’s lives, ”said Wartella.“Today’s parents grew up with technology as a central part of their lives, so they think about it differently than earlier generations of parents,instead of a battle with kids on one side and parents on the other, the use of media and technology has become a family affair.”The researchers identified three media environments created by parents:media­centric (39 percent of families), media­moderate (45%)and media­light (16%). Children in media­centric families spend at least thr ee hours more each day watching TV or using computers,video games and tablet PCs don’t make parenting easier.And 88 percent of parents say they are most likely to turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied.Slightly fewer turn to books (79%) and TV(78%).The survey didn’t look at how media affects children.That’s a topic that the American Academy of Pediatrics has handled a number of times.The AAP says studies have found too much media use can lead to attention problems, school difficulties, sleep and eating disorders and being fat.In addition, the Internet and cell phones can provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors.“By limiting screen time and offering educational media and non­electronic formats (格式)such as books, newspapers and board games, and watching television with their children, parents can help guide their children’s media experience.Putting questionable content into context and teaching kids about advertising contributes to their media literacy (素养), ”it says.The pediatricians’ group says parents should have “screen­free zones” and TV should be turned off during dinner.At most, it recommends children and teens engage with entertainment media for no more than two hours a day and that should be high­quality content.It is important for kids to spend time on outdoor play, reading, hobbies and using their imaginations in free play.“Kids under 2 should not use television and other entertainment media because their brains are developing quickly and they learn best from direct human interaction,” the group says.An article on screen time by the Mayo Clinic also notes problems linked to over screen time,including being fat, irregular sleep, behavioral problems, weak school performance, violence and less time for active and creative play.7.Parents have more negative than positive feelings about media consumption like ________.A.computers B.smart phonesC.video games D.tablets PCs8.Most parents don’t worry about kid’s media use because ________.A.they can limit the screen timeB.they want their children happyC.they also grew up with technologyD.they can teach their children themselves9.From the data of the survey, we learn ________.A.children in media­centric families are smarter than othersB.children in media­light families spend one hour watching TVC.more than half of the parents think children’s media use was a problem D.media­centric children spend more than three hours each day on media use 10.To make parenting easier, most parents probably________.A.try to persuade their children to read booksB.ask their children questions while watching TVC.allow their children watching TV or using computersD.turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied11.Which of the following is a suggestion by the researchers?A.Media use time for babies under 2 should be limited.B.Entertainment media use should be high­quality content.C.Schools should provide more time for active and creative play.D.Home media use should provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors.阅读理解A1.解析:选C。

Just this week, the hot topic in school was all about the PTA’S proposal (提议) to adopt a school dress principle。

Every student would be required to wear a uniform。

Uniforms! Can you imagine? Oh, they would be uniforms in color. The dress style would be sort of loose and free。

Boys would wear white or blue button.down shirts, a school tie, blue or gray pants, and a navy blue blazer (运动夹克). Girls would wear white or blue blouses or sweaters, blue or gray pants or skirts, along with a navy blue blazer.Socks or tights could be black, gray, blue, or white. The teachers are divided: Some are in favor of the uniforms, others are opposed。

Now she's_the_one_on_the_outs,_and every day at snack time, she tells me all about it, while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long。

“She’s fond of giving orders," Lucy complained。

“She’s turning everyone against me。

She's bad at math. She’s terrible at kickball。

And she’s fat。

“What did you just say?”“She’s fat,” Lucy mumbled(含糊地说) into her bowl. “We're going upstairs ,” I said, my voice cold. “We are going to discuss this。

" And up we went。

I’d spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day,the day we’d have to have the conversation about this horrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing (嘲笑), but in all of my imaginings, it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word—Fat.My daughter sat on her bed, and I sat beside her。

第十四组(建议用时:25分钟)阅读理解AJohn Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his Army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station。

He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose。

His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin。

The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind。

In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address。

She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War Ⅱ.During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail.Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared,it wouldn’t matter what she looked like.When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting—7:00 p.m. at the Grand Central Station in New York. “You'll recognize me," she wrote, “by the red rose I’ll be wearing on my lapel." So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he’d never seen。

专题九名词性从句[模拟题组一]1.(2016·浙江温州高三五校考试)I think the doctor is able to cure of________is called a suspect.A.all B.whatC.whatever D.anything解析:选C。

whatever具备两个意思,其一是no matter what,引导让步状语从句;其二是anything that,引导名词性从句,在本题中,whatever引导的是一个宾语从句,whatever 在这个宾语从句中被用作主语。

2.The traveler lost his way in the woods,and________made things worse was that it was getting dark.A.that B.whatC.which D.as解析:选B。

主语从句________made things worse 缺少主语,应用what引导。

that 在名词性从句中起连接词的作用,不充当任何成分。

故选B。

3.You are saying that everyone should be equal,and this is________I disagree.A.why B.whereC.what D.how解析:选B。

考查宾语从句。

disagree是不及物动词,不缺宾语,不能填代词,排除C。

其余三项均在引导名词性从句时作状语,但句意要求:这就是我不赞同的地方。

缺地点状语,所以选B。

4.People all over the world have a dream________they will always live a peaceful life.A.that B.whatC.which D.when解析:选A。

考查同位语从句。

句意:全世界的人们都有一个梦想,即总是过和平的生活。

________they will always live a peaceful life为同位语从句,作a dream 的同位语,该从句不缺少任何成分,故选A。

5.________cleans your windows doesn’t make a good job of it,for there is so much dust on them.A.Who B.WhoeverC.The one D.No matter who解析:选B。

句意:无论是谁擦你的窗户,都干不好这个工作,因为窗户上有太多的灰尘。

分析句子结构可知,空处引导主语从句,故选whoever。

whoever=no matter who,但no matter who不能引导主语从句;who也可以引导主语从句,但其表示的是“不知是谁”,带有疑问的语气。

whoever表示“任何人”。

6.The young couple was having an argument about________turn it was to do the cooking.A.whose B.whoC.when D.which解析:选A。

考查宾语从句。

句意:这对夫妇正在争论该轮到谁做饭了。

whose引导名词性从句作介词about的宾语,whose在宾语从句中作定语。

7.—It’s my treat today.Is there anything particular you would like to have?—________you choose is fine with me.A.Whatever B.WhichC.Anything what D.No matter what解析:选A。

考查主语从句。

句意:——今天我请客。

你有什么特别想吃的吗?——你选择的任何东西对我来说都可以。

________you choose为主语从句,whatever等于anything that,意为:……的任何东西。

如选D项,应改为:No matter what you choose,it is fine with me.(状语从句)。

8.________you do will be right because you are a wise and responsible man.A.What B.WhichC.Whichever D.Whatever解析:选D。

句意:无论你做什么事都是正确的,因为你是一位有智慧且负责的人。

分析句子结构可知,空处引导一个主语从句,在从句中作宾语,再结合句意可知此处应用Whatever。

9.The te achers in the school are very kind.It doesn’t matter________you have studied there for a short or a long time.A.why B.howC.whether D.when解析:选C。

考查主语从句。

句意:这个学校的老师非常友好,你在那里学习的时间是短还是长都没有关系。

根据连词or就很容易判断出这里是whether...or“是……还是……”结构。

10.The bride and groom gave________attended their wedding some gifts to share their happiness.A.whomever B.whoeverC.whom D.who解析:选B。

句意:新郎和新娘给任何一个参加他们婚礼的人发礼物以分享他们的幸福。

分析句子成分可知,“________attended their wedding”是宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,故用whoever。

[模拟题组二]1.The man’s innocence was disbelieved until evidence came to light________he was trapped by a group who had committed the murder.A.that B.whichC.when D.where解析:选A。

考查名词性从句。

that引导的同位语从句,修饰抽象名词evidence。

2.(2015·南通市高三第二次调研)Now all of our concentration is on________it is that the global environment will return to normal.A.which B.whatC.where D.when解析:选D。

考查名词性从句宾语从句的引导词。

句意:现在我们的注意力都集中在地球环境何时回归到正常状态上。

空后介词on的宾语从句,宾语从句又用的是强调句型。

强调句型特殊疑问句的结构为:特殊疑问词+is/was+it+that+不被强调的部分。

由于题干中的强调句作宾语从句,应用陈述语序。

该句中缺少时间状语,也就是缺少被强调的部分。

故选D。

3.(2015·南京市高三第三次模拟考试)How did it come about________a quiet person should appear so wild today?A.whether B.thatC.if D.What解析:选B。

考查主语从句的用法。

句意:一个安静的人今天竟然如此疯狂,这是怎么产生的?It是形式主语,that引导的主语从句,在从句中不作成分,仅起连接作用。

故选B。

4.(2015·南通、扬州、淮安、泰州高三调研)________a girl put her card into a machine outside a bank in London on January 19,1968 means the world’s first ATM was born.A.Whether B.WhenC.How D.That解析:选D。

考查主语从句的用法。

句意: 1968年的1月19日在伦敦一个小女孩将她的卡片放入一所银行外面的机器意味着世界上第一台ATM机的诞生。

that引导主语从句,没任何意义,仅起引导作用。

whether是否,也可引导主语从句;how如何,引导主语从句,在主语从句中作方式状语;when何时,引导主语从句,在从句中作时间状语。

故选D。

句意:我们给他提供了这个职位,但是我一点儿都不知道他是否会接受这个职位。

根据“I don’t have the slightest idea”可知,此处表示不确定,且连词在从句中不充当成分,故选whether表示“是否”。

if也可表示“是否”但一般不引导同位语从句。

考查主语从句。

句意:你与同学相处得是否融洽会影响到你的情绪。
