sense﹣with skyscraping peaks，glaciers and permanent snow fields，all set under a star﹣studded sky．Key HighlightsAlthough it includes 23peaks over 3，000metres high，this park is very accessible．State Highway 80leads to Mt Cook Village which is situated beside scenic Lake Pukaki and provides a comfortable base for alpine activities．Far from city lights，the stargazing here is magnificent﹣Aoraki Mount Cook National Park forms the majority of New Zealand's only International Dark Sky Reserve．Mountaineers regard the area to be the best climbing region，while less skilled adventurers find plenty of satisfaction with the mountain walks that lead to alpine tarns，herb fields and spectacular glacier views．Encounters（遇到）with cheeky kea （mountain parrots）are part of the fun．Key ActivitiesMountain walksThere are 10short walks beginning near the village．All tracks are formed and well marked．The Red Tarns Track，Kea Point and the Hooker Valley Track each take around two hours return．For more experienced alpine hikers，there are three mountain pass routes﹣over the Mueller，Copland and Ball passes．Glacier viewing and skiingHelicopters and ski﹣planes provide access to the park's fabulous glaciers．The Tasman Glacier is an excellent choice for intermediate skiers，while the Murchison，Darwin and Bonney glaciers promise excitement for advanced skiers．From October until May，you can explore the Tasman Glacier's terminal lake by boat．MountaineeringClimbing Mount Cook remains the ultimate challenge，but there are many other peaks to tempt experienced climbers．Tasman，Malte Brun，Elie de Beaumont，Sefton and La Perouse are local favourites．Key Tips•Climbers don't require permits，but are requested to complete a trip intentions form．•Local guides are available for climbing，walking and glacier skiing．•Winter climbing is an extreme sport﹣only recommended for well﹣prepared，experienced mountaineers．•The weather can change very suddenly﹣be prepared for heavy rainfall，snow and/or high winds．•The park has an airport serving domestic commercial flights and scenic flight operators．56．Which is one of the characteristics of Mount Cook National Park？A．It is so﹣called alpine and hard to reach．B．It provides star﹣shining night skies for visitors．C．It attracts less skilled visitors to all alpine activities．D．It appeals to adventurers mainly for finding cheeky kea．57．If you are a visitor to the park，you should．A．properly evaluate your own experience and skillB．get your permit prepared before you start to climbC．hire local guides to help you to train for climbingD．choose Darwin glacier to ski on as an intermediate skier．58．（8分）A report released this month found that grouping children by ability is on the rise again ﹣teaching students in groups of similar ability has improved achievement for fast and slow learners alike﹣and who wouldn't want bright kids to be able to move ahead，or strugglers to get the help they need？But for most kids，labels（标签）applied early in life tend to stick，even if they are wrong．Sorting school children by ability has long been controversial．In some countries，especially in Asia，school﹣wide tracking（分流）remains normal．Children are tested and placed in different schools that direct them toward professional or vocational careers．Movement between the tracks is rare．School﹣wide tracking decreased in U．S．schools in the 1960s and 1970s．It never died out，though．Sorting students into separate tracks for math at about junior high school age continues to be common，and other forms of tracking persist as well．Unlike tracking，which means sorting students into separate classrooms，ability grouping happens within classrooms．When done according to the latest research，it has proven to promote achievement．Ability grouping is changeable and temporary．Within classrooms，students might be divided into different learning groups dealing with materials of different levels．Any students who master concepts can move upward between groups，and the student groups might look different fromsubject to subject and unit to unit．For instance，a student who stands out in language arts might be at an average or slower level in math．A student who flies through multiplication tables might need extra help with fractions．Students who lag in reading can be pulled out of the classroom in small groups for practice with a tutor until their reading improves．Research shows ability grouping within classes has more positive benefits than tracking．However，that must be weighed against the challenges involved．In many regular classrooms，the differences between student ability levels are very big．That presents challenges for teachers and low﹣performing students to constantly compare themselves with students who seem to fly through school with ease．The rigid ability groups and tracking of the past are still with us in many schools．Likely，labels are applied with more caution than in the bad old days when some teachers gave reading groups not﹣so﹣secret code names like"Bluebirds""Robins""Crows"and"Buzzards"．But kids still know．58．Why is grouping children by ability becoming popular again？A．Because most teachers do not like slower learners．B．Because grouping children should be done early in life．C．Because it is academically beneficial to different learners．D．Because fast learners can move ahead without teachers'help．59．By saying"Movement between the tracks is rare．"in Paragraph 3，the writer really means．A．tracking children is normal in AsiaB．school﹣wide tracking has decreased in USC．professional and vocational careers are unrelatedD．sorted students can hardly change schools60．The examples in Paragraph 6are used mainly to illustrate．A．a good language learner promises to be good at mathsB．a student might join different groups for different coursesC．ability grouping benefits gifted students more than slow onesD．ability grouping presents no challenge for those slow students61．What might be the challenge in regular classrooms for teachers？A．Students'different levels．B．Students'low performance．C．Constant self﹣comparison．D．Application of not﹣so﹣secret code．62．（8分）Microsoft just finished a three﹣month experiment operating an underwater data center．A server rack（服务器支架）with the power of about 300PCs was placed into a water﹣tight（防水）steel container and lowered into the ocean off the coast of central California．The unusual experiment was launched because current data centers are unpleasantly inefficient．They're built where energy and land are cheap （not close to where people actually live）．And they waste so much energy cooling their massive computers．The ocean can solve those problems．The cold ocean floor sufficiently cools the computing components inside the pod．And since most people live near the ocean，placing data centers under water could potentially increase the speed at which customers could access the information stored in Microsoft's cloud．The experiment was so successful that Microsoft operated the underwater data center for 75days longer than it had planned to．The next step is to get a larger pod，with about four times the computing power，under the ocean for testing．Unlike the first experiment，the next pod will also be equipped with turbines，which will transform the ocean's currents into electricity．It's not clear when，if ever，underwater data centers will become a possible product．"Our first experiment was like dipping our pinkie toe in the water，and now we're going for the big toe，"said Lee，corporate vice president of Microsoft Research．Microsoft is still analyzing the environmental impacts of the study．Data centers are both hot and loud，which could have damaging effects on ocean life．Microsoft found that the noise its underwater data center produced was drowned out by nearby shrimp and crabs．The data centers are also built from recyclable materials，and Microsoft believes that the total carbon footprint of underwater data centers will be"dramatically lower"than current land﹣based centers．Given the growth in the cloud，industry analysts believe that most of the world's data centers have yet to be built．But building a data center

mother．From her I inheriteda curious nature，a sense of adventure，bright red hair．I did not，contrary to her hopes，inherit a talent for the piano．That fact was established beyond doubt after unsuccessful attempts to draw music from me．The piano lessons began when I was four．My mother was convinced that I would be a child Mozart．She found the ideal teacher﹣Madame Oblenka，a strict Russian woman，whose pursed lips were enough to frighten a wild horse into submission．Madame Oblenka，who expected a little Mozart，was not very delighted to find a little girl banging her fists（拳头）on the keys．I tried to please her．"Feel the music，"she urged．I"felt"it and winced（退避）my ears﹣for what is more unpleasant than a series of wrong notes played continuously？She"felt"my music，too，which is why she always left with an angrier expression than when she came．Once，when I was ten，I managed to record one of my own rehearsals（练习）．In order to escape my practice sessions，I would close myself behind the door of the piano room，put on the tape recording，and read until the tape had finished．That method worked for a week，until my mother began to wonder why I always missed the same B﹣sharp．She knocked on the door，and，receiving no answer，came in to check on me and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on．I was twelve when my parents finally acknowledged that my hidden talent was not about to emerge（显现）any time soon．My mother，refusing to admit defeat，told me to pick another instrument．"Choose anything you want，Honey，"she said，assuming that freedom of choice would inspire devotion．I thought long and hard and chose the drums．My parents，sensitive to noise，would be less than overjoyed by a daily bombardment of playing．I imagined my father in his study，cotton wads in his ears．I worked my way through several other instruments before my mother hit on another idea．Maybe I wasn't meant to be an instrumentalist．Realizing that drama might be more suited to my talents，Mom took me to a drama teacher．However，he put me backstage，painting scenery．Once I recovered from my sense of injury，I realized the wisdom of his choice．I loved the active，practical backstage world，and I discovered that I had a knack for constructing and painting．I loved the challenge of taking our scanty（贫乏的）supplies and using them to make something beautiful．Imagining a scene and then seeing it emerge before me﹣this，to me，was close to magic．I'm a sculptor now，and every day I experience afresh the joy of being fully absorbed in the act of artistic creation．It's a wonderful，blissful（乐而忘忧）feeling．I realize that my parents，in their misguided attempts to interest me in music，were trying to give me this feeling．And now I feel grateful．Perhaps they went about it in the wrong way，but their hearts were in the right place．66．Madame Oblenka always felt angry because．A．the author was too young to play the piano wellB．the author often pointed out the wrong notes of herC．the author kept banging on the keys unconsciouslyD．the author's performance was far from satisfactory67．Which of the following best reveals the author's attitude towards piano practice？A．She tried to make the piano teacher pleased．B．She recorded her performance for improvement．C．She played the recording instead of practising．D．She repeated the same mistake in practising．68．Why did the author choose the drums as a musical instrument？A．She was eager to free herself from piano lessons．B．She was reluctant to play an instrument．C．She was confident of handling them．D．She was fond of beating drums．69．The author's mother can be best described as．A．devoted and stubbornB．encouraging and independentC．helpful and considerateD．hardworking and generous70．We can learn from the passage．A．parents should encourage their children to create artB．the ordinary backstage work can help one succeedC．you can only get better at something if you practiceD．art should be treated as a joy rather than a burden．第四部分：任务型阅读（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：每个空格只填1个单词．71．（10分）Social Networking and Its EffectSocial networking has become an unquestionable part of our everyday lives．Those who have a life on the Internet do not always realize that they are losing their connections with the real world．Nowadays，a reputation online is more important．Some are even finding a way to make a living online．Social media seems to have quite the impact，especially on teenagers．Years ago，before social networking existed，friends would go out and have a good time，and popularity in high school would be something of importance to a lot of people．Today，popularity means having a lot of followers on Twitter or Tumblr．Tumblr has its own way of creating"celebrities"．Users are considered"Tumblr famous"if they have a high number of followers．Websites make us think that greatness is achieved just because thousands of strangers are familiar with your face．Popularity is not about having a lot of friends anymore；it is just about being known for absolutely nothing．Social networking has its positives，considering it allows us to connect with friends and family in a matter of seconds．Although this is extremely useful，it is also destroying our ability to make real life conversations．People are attacked over the Internet，but do not say a word to each other in person．Social media is preventing us from standing up for ourselves the way we should be．Facebook limits our conversations that we have with people，which is why it is always better to strike up a conversation in person instead of through a computer screen．Social networking destroys the true meaning of human interaction．Teens are finding new ways to make a living out of advertisements that they post on their social networking pages．Social networks allow them to make money without even getting up off the couch．Being out in the real world and working creates ways to communicate and is a crucial part of life，but that will be destroyed if young teens think it is okay to just make money through socialmedia．Social networking makes things easier，but that does not always mean that it makes things better．Social networking affects young lives and causes teens to grow up differently from how their older relatives have．They rely on their blogs and pages to communicate with people，keep up with the latest trends and enjoy their separate little world．Social media has ruined how life should be：fun，adventurous and exciting．Instead，it has turned most teenagers into anti﹣social couch potatoes．There needs to be a break from social networking so young people can once again live a real life in the real world．Title：Social Networking and Its Effect第五部分：书面表达（满分25分）1．用约30个字单词概述上述文字及图表的主要内容．2．结合上述信息，简要分析可能导致青少年图书阅读量下降的原因．3．结合自身实际，就如何提高青少年的图书阅读量提几点建议（不少于两点）．【写作要求】1．写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句．2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称．3．不必写标准．【评分标准】内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当．2016年江苏省泰州市、南通市、扬州市高考英语三模试卷参考答案与试题解析第一部分：听力（共两节，满分5分）第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）听下面5段对话．每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置．听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题．每段对话仅读一遍．1．Where

It is alpine（高山）in the purest sense-with skyscraping peaks, glaciers and permanent snow fields, all set under a star-studded sky.Key HighlightsAlthough it includes 23 peaks over 3,000 metres high, this park is very accessible. State Highway 80 leads to Mt Cook Village which is situated beside scenic Lake Pukaki and provides a comfortable base for alpine activities. Far from city lights, the stargazing here is magnificent-Aoraki Mount Cook National Park forms the majority of New Zealand's only International Dark Sky Reserve.Mountaineers regard the area to be the best climbing region, while less skilled adventurers find plenty of satisfaction with the mountain walks that lead to alpine tarns, herb fields and spectacular glacier views. Encounters（遇到）with cheeky kea（mountain parrots）are part of the fun.Key ActivitiesMountain walksThere are 10 short walks beginning near the village. All tracks are formed and well marked. The Red Tarns Track, Kea Point and the Hooker Valley Track each take around two hours return. For more experienced alpine hikers, there are three mountain pass routes-over the Mueller, Copland and Ball passes.Glacier viewing and skiingHelicopters and ski-planes provide access to the park's fabulous glaciers. The Tasman Glacier is an excellent choice for intermediate skiers, while the Murchison, Darwin and Bonney glaciers promiseexcitement for advanced skiers. From October until May, you can explore the Tasman Glacier's terminal lake by boat.MountaineeringClimbing Mount Cook remains the ultimate challenge, but there are many other peaks to tempt experienced climbers. Tasman, Malte Brun, Elie de Beaumont, Sefton and La Perouse are local favourites.Key Tips• Climbers don't require permits, but are requested to complete a trip intentions form.• Local guides are available for climbing, walking and glacier skiing.• Winter climbing is an extreme sport-only recommended for well-prepared, experienced mountaineers.• The weather can change very suddenly-be prepared for heavy rainfall, snow and/or high winds.• The park has an airport serving domestic commercial flights and scenic flight operators.(1) Which is one of the characteristics of Mount Cook National Park?A. It is so-called alpine and hard to reach.B. It provides star-shining night skies for visitors.C. It attracts less skilled visitors to all alpine activities.D. It appeals to adventurers mainly for finding cheeky kea.(2) If you are a visitor to the park, you should.A. properly evaluate your own experience and skillB. get your permit prepared before you start to climbC. hire local guides to help you to train for climbingD. choose Darwin glacier to ski on as an intermediate skier18、【来源】 2016年江苏南通高三三模第48~51题8分2019~2020学年3月江苏苏州吴中区江苏省木渎高级中学高二下学期月考第66~69题8分2018~2019学年11月江苏南通海安市江苏省海安高级中学高三上学期月考第61~64题8分A report released this month found that grouping children by ability is on the rise again-teaching students in groups of similar ability has improved achievement for fast and slow learners alike-and who wouldn't want bright kids to be able to move ahead, or strugglers to get the help they need?But for most kids, labels（标签） applied early in life tend to stick, even if they are wrong.Sorting school children by ability has long been controversial. In some countries, especially in Asia, school-wide tracking（分流） remains normal. Children are tested and placed in different schools that direct them toward professional or vocational careers. Movement between the tracks is rare.School-wide tracking decreased in U.S. schools in the 1960s and 1970s. It never died out, though. Sorting students into separate tracks for math at about junior high school age continues to be common, and other forms of tracking persist as well.Unlike tracking, which means sorting students into separate classrooms, ability grouping happens within classrooms. When done according to the latest research, it has proven to promote achievement.Ability grouping is changeable and temporary. Within classrooms, students might be divided into different learning groups dealing with materials of different levels. Any students who master concepts can move upward between groups, and the student groups might look different from subject to subject and unit to unit. For instance, a student who stands out in language arts might be at an average or slower level in math. A student who flies through multiplication tables might need extra help with fractions. Students who lag in reading can be pulled out of the classroom in small groups for practice with a tutor until their reading improves.Research shows ability grouping within classes has more positive benefits than tracking. However, that must be weighed against the challenges involved. In many regular classrooms, the differences between student ability levels are very big. That presents challenges for teachers and low-performing students to constantly compare themselves with students who seem to fly through school with ease.The rigid ability groups and tracking of the past are still with us in many schools. Likely, labels are applied with more caution than in the bad old days when some teachers gave reading groups not-so-secret code names like "Bluebirds" "Robins" "Crows" and "Buzzards" . But kids still know.(1) Why is grouping children by ability becoming popular again?A. Because most teachers do not like slower learners.B. Because grouping children should be done early in life.C. Because it is academically beneficial to different learners.D. Because fast learners can move ahead without teachers' help.(2) By saying "Movement between the tracks is rare. " in Paragraph 3, the writer really means.A. tracking children is normal in AsiaB. school-wide tracking has decreased in USC. professional and vocational careers are unrelatedD. sorted students can hardly change schools(3) The examples in Paragraph 6are used mainly to illustrate.A. a good language learner promises to be good at mathsB. a student might join different groups for different coursesC. ability grouping benefits gifted students more than slow onesD. ability grouping presents no challenge for those slow students(4) What might be the challenge in regular classrooms for teachers?A. Students' different levels.B. Students' low performance.C. Constant self-comparison.D. Application of not-so-secret code.19、【来源】 2016年江苏南通高三三模第52~55题8分Microsoft just finished a three-month experiment operating an underwater data center. A server rack （服务器支架） with the power of about 300PCs was placed into a water-tight（防水） steel container and lowered into the ocean off the coast of central California.The unusual experiment was launched because current data centers are unpleasantly inefficient. They're built where energy and land are cheap （not close to where people actually live）. And they waste so much energy cooling their massive computers. The ocean can solve those problems. The cold ocean floor sufficiently cools the computing components inside the pod. And since most people live near the ocean, placing data centers under water could potentially increase the speed at which customers could access the information stored in Microsoft's cloud.The experiment was so successful that Microsoft operated the underwater data center for 75days longer than it had planned to. The next step is to get a larger pod, with about four times the computing power, under the ocean for testing. Unlike the first experiment, the next pod will also be equipped with turbines, which will transform the ocean's currents into electricity. It's not clear when, if ever, underwater data centers will become a possible product. "Our first experiment was like dipping our pinkie toe in the water, and now we're going for the big toe," said Lee, corporate vice president of Microsoft Research.Microsoft is still analyzing the environmental impacts of the study. Data centers are both hot and loud, which could have damaging effects on ocean life. Microsoft found that the noise its underwater data center produced was drowned out by nearby shrimp and crabs. The data centers are also built from recyclable materials, and Microsoft believes that the total carbon footprint of underwater data centers will be "dramatically lower" than current land-based centers.Given the growth in the cloud, industry analysts believe that most of the world's data centers have yet to be built. But building a data center takes at least two years-an eternity in the fast-developing tech industry. As a result, Microsoft builds its data centers with the future in mind, installing far more computing power and space than it currently needs.Lee believes that going under water can shift the building of data centers from construction projects to manufacturing jobs. "What if we could mass-produce these pods on an assembly line?"he thought. "We could deliver a data center, from conception to operation, in 90 days. That's dramatically different than what's happening today. "(1) What is the advantage of an underwater data center?A. It can be lowered to the ocean floor easily.B. It can cool computing components automatically.C. It can be built close to the place where people live.D. It can make information easily accessible to people.(2) We can infer that the underwater data centers.A. cause little harm to the ocean lifeB. are more environmentally friendlyC. change the course of ocean currentsD. are easy to build in large quantities(3) The underlined word "eternity" in Paragraph 5 means "" .A. an extremely long timeB. an extended periodC. a seemingly short timeD. a fruitful period(4) The passage tries to inform readers that.A. an experiment was made in operating a data centerB. Microsoft will mass-produce pods on an assemble lineC. Microsoft succeeded in putting a data center underwaterD. underwater data centers are more efficient than land-based ones.20、【来源】 2016年江苏南通高三三模第56~60题10分My father's family is not a musical family. They are a family of words. My brother has my father's dark hair, his love of a good argument. I take after my mother. From her I inherited a curious nature, a sense of adventure, bright red hair. I did not, contrary to her hopes, inherit a talent for the piano. That fact was established beyond doubt after unsuccessful attempts to draw music from me.The piano lessons began when I was four. My mother was convinced that I would be a child Mozart. She found the ideal teacher-Madame Oblenka, a strict Russian woman, whose pursed lips were enough to frighten a wild horse into submission. Madame Oblenka, who expected a little Mozart, was not very delighted to find a little girl banging her fists（拳头） on the keys.I tried to please her. "Feel the music, " she urged. I "felt" it and winced（退避） my ears-for what is more unpleasant than a series of wrong notes played continuously? She "felt" my music, too, which is why she always left with an angrier expression than when she came.Once, when I was ten, I managed to record one of my own rehearsals（练习）. In order to escape my practice sessions, I would close myself behind the door of the piano room, put on the tape recording, and read until the tape had finished. That method worked for a week, until my mother began to wonder why I always missed the same B-sharp. She knocked on the door, and, receiving no answer, came in to check on me and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on.I was twelve when my parents finally acknowledged that my hidden talent was not about to emerge （显现） any time soon. My mother, refusing to admit defeat, told me to pick another instrument. "Choose anything you want, Honey, " she said, assuming that freedom of choice would inspire devotion. I thought long and hard and chose the drums. My parents, sensitive to noise, would be less than overjoyed by a daily bombardment of playing. I imagined my father in his study, cotton wads in his ears.I worked my way through several other instruments before my mother hit on another idea. Maybe I wasn't meant to be an instrumentalist. Realizing that drama might be more suited to my talents, Mom tookme to a drama teacher. However, he put me backstage, painting scenery. Once I recovered from my sense of injury, I realized the wisdom of his choice. I loved the active, practical backstage world, and I discovered that I had a knack for constructing and painting. I loved the challenge of taking our scanty（贫乏的） supplies and using them to make something beautiful. Imagining a scene and then seeing it emerge before me-this, to me, was close to magic.I'm a sculptor now, and every day I experience afresh the joy of being fully absorbed in the act of artistic creation.

Those who have a life on the Internet do not always realize that they are losing their connections with the real world. Nowadays, a reputation online is more important. Some are even finding a way to make a living online. Social media seems to have quite the impact, especially on teenagers.Years ago, before social networking existed, friends would go out and have a good time, and popularity in high school would be something of importance to a lot of people. Today, popularity means having a lot of followers on Twitter or Tumblr. Tumblr has its own way of creating "celebrities" . Users are considered "Tumblr famous" if they have a high number of followers. Websites make us think that greatness is achieved just because thousands of strangers are familiar with your face. Popularity is not about having a lot of friends anymore; it is just about being known for absolutely nothing.Social networking has its positives, considering it allows us to connect with friends and family in a matter of seconds. Although this is extremely useful, it is also destroying our ability to make real life conversations. People are attacked over the Internet, but do not say a word to each other in person. Social media is preventing us from standing up for ourselves the way we should be. Facebook limits our conversations that we have with people, which is why it is always better to strike up a conversation in person instead of through a computer screen. Social networking destroys the true meaning of human interaction.Teens are finding new ways to make a living out of advertisements that they post on their social networking pages. Social networks allow them to make money without even getting up off the couch. Being out in the real world and working creates ways to communicate and is a crucial part of life, but that will be destroyed if young teens think it is okay to just make money through social media. Social networking makes things easier, but that does not always mean that it makes things better.Social networking affects young lives and causes teens to grow up differently from how their older relatives have. They rely on their blogs and pages to communicate with people, keep up with the latest trends and enjoy their separate little world. Social media has ruined how life should be: fun, adventurous and exciting. Instead, it has turned most teenagers into anti-social couch potatoes. There needs to be a break from social networking so young people can once again live a real life in the real world.Title: Social Networking and Its Effect.四、书面表达（满分25分）22、【来源】 2016年江苏南通高三三模第71题25分请阅读下面文字及图表，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章．【写作内容】1．用约30个字单词概述上述文字及图表的主要内容。

sense﹣with skyscraping peaks，glaciers and permanent snow fields，all set under a star﹣studded sky．Key HighlightsAlthough it includes 23peaks over 3，000metres high，this park is very accessible．State Highway 80leads to Mt Cook Village which is situated beside scenic Lake Pukaki and provides a comfortable base for alpine activities．Far from city lights，the stargazing here is magnificent﹣Aoraki Mount Cook National Park forms the majority of New Zealand's only International Dark Sky Reserve．Mountaineers regard the area to be the best climbing region，while less skilled adventurers find plenty of satisfaction with the mountain walks that lead to alpine tarns，herb fields and spectacular glacier views．Encounters〔遇到〕with cheeky kea 〔mountain parrots〕are part of the fun．Key ActivitiesMountain walksThere are 10short walks beginning near the village．All tracks are formed and well marked．The Red Tarns Track，Kea Point and the Hooker Valley Track each take around two hours return．For more experienced alpine hikers，there are three mountain pass routes﹣over the Mueller，Copland and Ball passes．Glacier viewing and skiingHelicopters and ski﹣planes provide access to the park's fabulous glaciers．The Tasman Glacier is an excellent choice for intermediate skiers，while the Murchison，Darwin and Bonney glaciers promise excitement for advanced skiers．From October until May，you can explore the Tasman Glacier's terminal lake by boat．MountaineeringClimbing Mount Cook remains the ultimate challenge，but there are many other peaks to tempt experienced climbers．Tasman，Malte Brun，Elie de Beaumont，Sefton and La Perouse are local favourites．Key Tips•Climbers don't require permits，but are requested to complete a trip intentions form．•Local guides are available for climbing，walking and glacier skiing．•Winter climbing is an extreme sport﹣only recommended for well﹣prepared，experienced mountaineers．•The weather can change very suddenly﹣be prepared for heavy rainfall，snow and/or high winds．•The park has an airport serving domestic commercial flights and scenic flight operators．56．Which is one of the characteristics of Mount Cook National Park？A．It is so﹣called alpine and hard to reach．B．It provides star﹣shining night skies for visitors．C．It attracts less skilled visitors to all alpine activities．D．It appeals to adventurers mainly for finding cheeky kea．57．If you are a visitor to the park，you should．A．properly evaluate your own experience and skillB．get your permit prepared before you start to climbC．hire local guides to help you to train for climbingD．choose Darwin glacier to ski on as an intermediate skier．58．〔8分〕A report released this month found that grouping children by ability is on the rise again ﹣teaching students in groups of similar ability has improved achievement for fast and slow learners alike﹣and who wouldn't want bright kids to be able to move ahead，or strugglers to get the help they need？But for most kids，labels〔标签〕applied early in life tend to stick，even if they are wrong．Sorting school children by ability has long been controversial．In some countries，especially in Asia，school﹣wide tracking〔分流〕remains normal．Children are tested and placed in different schools that direct them toward professional or vocational careers．Movement between the tracks is rare．School﹣wide tracking decreased in U．S．schools in the 1960s and 1970s．It never died out，though．Sorting students into separate tracks for math at about junior high school age continues to be common，and other forms of tracking persist as well．Unlike tracking，which means sorting students into separate classrooms，ability grouping happens within classrooms．When done according to the latest research，it has proven to promote achievement．Ability grouping is changeable and temporary．Within classrooms，students might be divided into different learning groups dealing with materials of different levels．Any students who master concepts can move upward between groups，and the student groups might look different fromsubject to subject and unit to unit．For instance，a student who stands out in language arts might be at an average or slower level in math．A student who flies through multiplication tables might need extra help with fractions．Students who lag in reading can be pulled out of the classroom in small groups for practice with a tutor until their reading improves．Research shows ability grouping within classes has more positive benefits than tracking．However，that must be weighed against the challenges involved．In many regular classrooms，the differences between student ability levels are very big．That presents challenges for teachers and low﹣performing students to constantly compare themselves with students who seem to fly through school with ease．The rigid ability groups and tracking of the past are still with us in many schools．Likely，labels are applied with more caution than in the bad old days when some teachers gave reading groups not﹣so﹣secret code names like"Bluebirds""Robins""Crows"and"Buzzards"．But kids still know．58．Why is grouping children by ability becoming popular again？A．Because most teachers do not like slower learners．B．Because grouping children should be done early in life．C．Because it is academically beneficial to different learners．D．Because fast learners can move ahead without teachers'help．59．By saying"Movement between the tracks is rare．"in Paragraph 3，the writer really means．A．tracking children is normal in AsiaB．school﹣wide tracking has decreased in USC．professional and vocational careers are unrelatedD．sorted students can hardly change schools60．The examples in Paragraph 6are used mainly to illustrate．A．a good language learner promises to be good at mathsB．a student might join different groups for different coursesC．ability grouping benefits gifted students more than slow onesD．ability grouping presents no challenge for those slow students61．What might be the challenge in regular classrooms for teachers？A．Students'different levels．B．Students'low performance．C．Constant self﹣comparison．D．Application of not﹣so﹣secret code．62．〔8分〕Microsoft just finished a three﹣month experiment operating an underwater data center．A server rack〔服务器支架〕with the power of about 300PCs was placed into a water﹣tight〔防水〕steel container and lowered into the ocean off the coast of central California．The unusual experiment was launched because current data centers are unpleasantly inefficient．They're built where energy and land are cheap 〔not close to where people actually live〕．And they waste so much energy cooling their massive computers．The ocean can solve those problems．The cold ocean floor sufficiently cools the computing components inside the pod．And since most people live near the ocean，placing data centers under water could potentially increase the speed at which customers could access the information stored in Microsoft's cloud．The experiment was so successful that Microsoft operated the underwater data center for 75days longer than it had planned to．The next step is to get a larger pod，with about four times the computing power，under the ocean for testing．Unlike the first experiment，the next pod will also be equipped with turbines，which will transform the ocean's currents into electricity．It's not clear when，if ever，underwater data centers will become a possible product．"Our first experiment was like dipping our pinkie toe in the water，and now we're going for the big toe，"said Lee，corporate vice president of Microsoft Research．Microsoft is still analyzing the environmental impacts of the study．Data centers are both hot and loud，which could have damaging effects on ocean life．Microsoft found that the noise its underwater data center produced was drowned out by nearby shrimp and crabs．The data centers are also built from recyclable materials，and Microsoft believes that the total carbon footprint of underwater data centers will be"dramatically lower"than current land﹣based centers．Given the growth in the cloud，industry analysts believe that most of the world's data centers have yet to be built．But building a data center takes at least two years﹣an eternity in the fast﹣developing tech industry．As a result，Microsoft builds its data centers with the future in mind，installing far more computing power and space than it currently needs．Lee believes that going under water can shift the building of data centers from construction projects to manufacturing jobs．"What if we could mass﹣produce these pods on an assembly line？"he thought．"We could deliver a data center，from conception to operation，in90days．That's dramatically different than what's happening today．"62．What is the advantage of an underwater data center？A．It can be lowered to the ocean floor easily．B．It can cool computing components automatically．C．It can be built close to the place where people live．D．It can make information easily accessible to people．63．We can infer that the underwater data centers．A．cause little harm to the ocean life B．are more environmentally friendlyC．change the course of ocean currents D．are easy to build in large quantities64．The underlined word"eternity"in Paragraph 5means""．A．an extremely long time B．an extended periodC．a seemingly short time D．a fruitful period65．The passage tries to inform readers that．A．an experiment was made in operating a data centerB．Microsoft will mass﹣produce pods on an assemble lineC．Microsoft succeeded in putting a data center underwaterD．underwater data centers are more efficient than land﹣based ones．66．〔10分〕My father's family is not a musical family．They are a family of words．My brother has my father's dark hair，his love of a good argument．I take after my mother．From her I inheriteda curious nature，a sense of adventure，bright red hair．I did not，contrary to her hopes，inherit a talent for the piano．That fact was established beyond doubt after unsuccessful attempts to draw music from me．The piano lessons began when I was four．My mother was convinced that I would be a child Mozart．She found the ideal teacher﹣Madame Oblenka，a strict Russian woman，whose pursed lips were enough to frighten a wild horse into submission．Madame Oblenka，who expected a little Mozart，was not very delighted to find a little girl banging her fists〔拳头〕on the keys．I tried to please her．"Feel the music，"she urged．I"felt"it and winced〔退避〕my ears﹣for what is more unpleasant than a series of wrong notes played continuously？She"felt"my music，too，which is why she always left with an angrier expression than when she came．Once，when I was ten，I managed to record one of my own rehearsals〔练习〕．In order to escape my practice sessions，I would close myself behind the door of the piano room，put on the tape recording，and read until the tape had finished．That method worked for a week，until my mother began to wonder why I always missed the same B﹣sharp．She knocked on the door，and，receiving no answer，came in to check on me and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on．I was twelve when my parents finally acknowledged that my hidden talent was not about to emerge〔显现〕any time soon．My mother，refusing to admit defeat，told me to pick another instrument．"Choose anything you want，Honey，"she said，assuming that freedom of choice would inspire devotion．I thought long and hard and chose the drums．My parents，sensitive to noise，would be less than overjoyed by a daily bombardment of playing．I imagined my father in his study，cotton wads in his ears．I worked my way through several other instruments before my mother hit on another idea．Maybe I wasn't meant to be an instrumentalist．Realizing that drama might be more suited to my talents，Mom took me to a drama teacher．However，he put me backstage，painting scenery．Once I recovered from my sense of injury，I realized the wisdom of his choice．I loved the active，practical backstage world，and I discovered that I had a knack for constructing and painting．I loved the challenge of taking our scanty〔贫乏的〕supplies and using them to make something beautiful．Imagining a scene and then seeing it emerge before me﹣this，to me，was close to magic．I'm a sculptor now，and every day I experience afresh the joy of being fully absorbed in the act of artistic creation．It's a wonderful，blissful〔乐而忘忧〕feeling．I realize that my parents，in their misguided attempts to interest me in music，were trying to give me this feeling．And now I feel grateful．Perhaps they went about it in the wrong way，but their hearts were in the right place．66．Madame Oblenka always felt angry because．A．the author was too young to play the piano wellB．the author often pointed out the wrong notes of herC．the author kept banging on the keys unconsciouslyD．the author's performance was far from satisfactory67．Which of the following best reveals the author's attitude towards piano practice？A．She tried to make the piano teacher pleased．B．She recorded her performance for improvement．C．She played the recording instead of practising．D．She repeated the same mistake in practising．68．Why did the author choose the drums as a musical instrument？A．She was eager to free herself from piano lessons．B．She was reluctant to play an instrument．C．She was confident of handling them．D．She was fond of beating drums．69．The author's mother can be best described as．A．devoted and stubbornB．encouraging and independentC．helpful and considerateD．hardworking and generous70．We can learn from the passage．A．parents should encourage their children to create artB．the ordinary backstage work can help one succeedC．you can only get better at something if you practiceD．art should be treated as a joy rather than a burden．第四部分：任务型阅读〔共1小题；每题10分，总分值10分〕请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：每个空格只填1个单词．71．〔10分〕Social Networking and Its EffectSocial networking has become an unquestionable part of
