There is a household poem in ancient China saying that "kind mothers are always prepared to make clothes for their departing children", which contains the deep love of mothers. Surely enough, it's a universal truth. Once I quarreled bitterly with my mum as she tried hard to give me some suggestions about exams, while I rejected it and behaved rudely. The next day after school, uneasily and slowly I started to make my way towards home. However, quite out of expectation, my mum, my dear mum was there at the gate in the heavy rain, waiting for me. I rushed forward and soon found myself hugging her, moved and apologetic. From then on, I fully understood the immeasurable love my mum furnished me with. No matter how badly her kid treats her, no matter how many times her kid has ignored her advice, and no matter how childish and stubborn her kid is, she never fails to be tolerant, guiding and coaching her kid with her selfless love. Remember, your mother is the one who's always behind you and who's always supporting you. So just sincerely love them back. 160

阅读理解(1) 生活故事类How I Turned to Be OptimisticI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to ―the hard times‖.My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule：almost all common troubles eventually go away！Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little！I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.1. How did the author get to know America?A. From her relatives.B. From her mother.C. From books and pictures.D. From radio programs.2. Upon leaving for America the author felt ________.A. confusedB. excitedC. worriedD. amazed3. For the first two years in New York, the author ________.A. often lost her wayB. did not think about her futureC. studied in three different schoolsD. got on well with her stepfather(2) 科普类Seeing in StereoHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important to the way you see the rest of your world．Your eyes are like two small cameras．A camera catches an image(影像)of an object and records it on film．Similarly，when you look at something，each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball．Because your eyes are set close together，they view the world from about the same height but from slightly different angles．Working as a team，the eyes send the images to your brain，which puts them together into a single，centered image．Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together，which is called stereoscopic sight．This allows you to view the world in three dimensions，or 3-D．Seeing depth helps you tojudge the distance between you and the objects you see and to adjust to the changing angle at which you see something as you move closer to or farther away from it．If images are coming from only one eye, however，only two of these dimensions-height and width-can be perceived．A world seen with one eye is thus two-dimensional，as in a photograph．Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face．Think of other animals with this same arrangement．They are all animals that hunt，like lions and wolves．Their eyes face directly in front of them．This provides a field of sight about 180 degrees wide，which is called binocular sight．On the other hand，animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head，which Provides nearly 360-degree field of sight．In order to stay alive，they need to see things coming from the sides and from behind．However，without stereoscopic sight，they have difficulty determining how far a danger is．With sight both stereoscopic and binocular，humans share with animal hunters the ability to see from side to side and to accurately determine the distance．If you think it would be great to have another type of sight，perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do，think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part．Besides，what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have．1．According to the passage，an eye is like a camera because bothA. can record imagesB. can imagine objectsC. provide centered imagesD. work at the same height2．Stereoscopic sight is a result of havingA. a three-hundred-sixty-degree field of sightB. hundreds of eyes，all seeing parts of an imageC. two eyes close to one another that work togetherD. one eye on either side of the head，each seeing a different image3．The underlined word ―perceived‘‘ in Paragraph 3 meansA. setB. takenC. seenD. understood4．The author implies that ―seeing in stereo‖A. is similar to the way cameras workB. is an ability humans are fortunate to haveC. would be better for a wider field of sightD. helps people to havelbetter sight than animals（3）生活心理类September is an exciting month in every colle ge freshman‘s life. For many, it‘s the first time that they‘ve left home to live in a new environment. But after the hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘) of a few weeks, excitement gives way to a less enjoyable emotion— homesickness.Homesickness manifests(显示) itself in many ways. You may miss mum‘s cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. All this becomes a fond memory of the past. Homesickness can be a bitter feeling for many students, especially when faced with the challenges of settling into an unfamiliar environment.But remember, you‘re not alone. According to a recent BBC article, 70 percent of British college students experience homesickness. In this increasingly globalized world in which people migrate to faraway places for a relationship, education or work, homesickness is a feeling shared by many adults.Homesickness can have similar symptoms to depression and in extreme cases it can develop into a panic attack. As for the term, homesickness or nostalgia wasn‘t invented until the 17th century. It was conside red a disorder by a Swiss physician, who attributed soldiers‘ mental and physical discomfort to their longing to return home, ―nostos‖ from Greek, and the accompanying pain, ―algos‖.Studies in recent years, however, have shown that nostalgia may have some benefits to our mental health. After a decade of surveys and researches, Constantine Sedikides, a US social psychologist, found that nostalgia is what makes us human. He explains that nostalgia can resist loneliness, boredom and anxiety. Therefore, it‘s n ecessary for college students to learn some ways to overcome the uncomfortable feeling.1. From the first two paragraphs, we can infer that __________.A. homesickness means a fond memory of the pastB. only a few students will experience homesicknessC. homesickness is an enjoyable emotion among freshmenD. college freshmen usually suffer from homesickness after weeks2. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. some benefits about homesicknessB. other problems in college freshmen‘s lifeC. how to make campus life more meaningfulD. some tips on how to deal with homesickness3. The attitude of Sedikides towards homesickness is _________.A. negativeB. supportiveC. doubtfulD. critical4. What is the best title for the passage?A. Let‘s embrace(拥抱) homesicknessB. How to fit into the college lifeC. A harmful emotion---homesicknessD. The disadvantages of homesickness（4）人物故事类I was born in Minneapolis. The city is in my blood. But I live in the country, and have been forced to deal with things that are difficult. One thing I‘ve always had trouble with is birds. How could anyone enjoy staring out of the window for hours at these creatures? My mother had always been one of those ridiculous birdwatcher types. She tried to raise her children to have respect for wildlife, but with little effect on me.One evening, a bird had been sitting on the same perch (栖息处), as if frozen, for ten minutes. My mother got a ladder and took the bird from his perch. She inspected him. It seemed that his tongue was hurt, and that he was unable to drink from the feeder. My mother handed him to me while she went inside for an eyedropper (点眼药器).Never in my life had I felt as frightened as when I was holding that tiny life in my hands. I placed the eyedropper inside the long beak. At first, the bird only trembled, but finally he managed to swallow. After a few minutes, he glided (滑翔) to a tree nearby and returned again. He flew to the tree and then back to me again and again. It didn‘t take me long to realize that he was sending me a message, a sort of ―SOS‖.I walked toward the tree, where I found the tiny creature trembling in the evening air. I slowly reached into the grass to pick up the bird. ―Please, be okay.‖ He had asked me for help. Now heowed me a favor in return and I was asking him to stay alive.However, what I saw was another dead bird lying besides the bird. It must have been a very sad picture: a child wiping her face with her one free hand, while the other palm was cupped around a tiny, dying creature. Fate was taking its own course. Its pulse was hardly noticeable, and the body was growing colder.I realized there were some things I could change and some I must simply accept. In either way, the two worlds sometimes collide (碰撞) and strangers must ask for, and be willing to receive, help from others. Without this, survival is not only impossible, but meaningless.1. From the first paragraph, we can infer that the author .A. often stares at birds through the windowB. isn‘t accustomed to living in the countryC. was forced to feed birds by her motherD. finds respect for wildlife ridiculous2. What was the matter with the bird according to the second paragraph?A. He was almost frozen to death.B. He had fallen from the perch and gotten injured.C. He couldn‘t use his tongue.D. He was thirsty.3. Why did the bird fly to the author again and again?A. To thank her for saving him.B. To look for food to feed the dying bird.C. To warn her of danger.D. To ask for help for the dying bird.4. By saying ―Fate was taking its own course‖ in the fifth paragraph the author means .A. the bird had no chance to surviveB. the fate of the bird was at her mercyC. it is natural for birds to dieD. the fate of birds cannot be changed5. What did the author learn from her experience?A. Offering help brings happiness.B. People should help others even strangers.C. People cannot accept what they cannot change.D. The human world is different from the animal world.（5）科普说明类For many years, scientists have wondered how Chrysopelea paradisi, known as the ―flying‖ snakes, can stay afloat (漂浮的) as they leap from one tree to another, sometimes covering a distance of as long as 79 feet. Now a new study has explained that it may be all to do with the way they move.The report was published by Virginia Tech scientist, Jake Soeha who has been studying the flying snakes for a number of years. He began his research by first focusing on its launch technique. He discovered that the snakes first make themselves completely flat and then move side to side; they glide (滑动) rapidly at a speed of between 26-33 feet per second, before leaping off.Once they take off, their bodies actually tilt (倾斜) at about a 25-degree angle relative to the airflow created by their flight. When they first leap, the snakes start to drop altitude to pick up speed. With the front of their bodies held stiff, they start a strange air-gliding dance, by moving from side to side. This turns their entire body into one big wing, allowing them to glide acrosslong distances.The findings are not only exciting because they solve the puzzle of how the snakes are able to fly, but also because the same principles could be used to build small flying instruments.The flying snakes that are native to South and South East Asia spend most of their lives in trees in the lowland tropical forests. They grow between 2-3 feet long and are about as wide as a human finger. As would be expected, the smaller and lighter ones are more able to ―glide‖ for longer distances than the bigger and heavier ones. They are not the only wingless animals that can fly -- there are flying frogs that use similar gliding techniques to make their way across forests.1. The new study shows that these snakes can fly because of .A. the places they liveB. the way they moveC. the life habits they haveD. the long bodies they have2. Which of the following is the correct order to describe snakes‘ flying according to the passage?a. The snakes first make themselves completely flatb. They glide rapidly at a speed of between 26-33 feet per second.c. Then they move side to side.d. After taking off, their bodies actually tilt at a certain angle.e. They start to drop altitude to pick up speed at their first leap.f. They turn their entire body into one big wing.A. a-f-d-e-c-bB. a-c-b-e-d-fC. a-c-b-f-e-dD. a-f-d-b-c-e3. Which of the following is TRUE about the findings of the study?A. It made the scientists excited and puzzled.B. It popularised flying snakes.C. It can help with the building of small flying instruments.D. It taught the public more about snakes.4. The best title for the passage is .A. New Flying AnimalsB. Small Flying InstrumentsC. The New FindingsD. Flying Snakes（6）应用文信息类Successful athletes today are able to earn enormous salaries and many of them choose to share the wealth they have by donating to charities.Ron ArtestThis NBA Lakers forward is planning to auction his 2010 championship ring online in an effort to raise money for mental-health problems in schools. He has also been publicly considering donating at least half of his salary for the 2011-2012 year.Steve NashThe Phoenix Suns player has a foundation bearing his name. It was started in 2001, and provides funds for children who are less fortunate in health, education and personal growth. The charity also focuses efforts on the community overall.Tiger WoodsThe pro-golfer has continued to make charitable donations despite the trouble in his personal life. His foundation sent $3 million to Haiti following the earthquake that destroyed the region. Woods also donated $100,000 to assist with the tsunami in 2004 and $200,000 went to the needy affected by Hurricane Katrina.Hannah TeterThe Olympic snowboarding champion joined with other athletes for the charity Children International. She has been a part of the humanitarian(人道主义的)group since 2007 and along with Gabi Viteri, a Burton Team Snowboarder, she traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico, to understand the needs of the school children there and how they can help. Hannah has helped improve the lives of many poor children.Lance ArmstrongThe professional cyclist and survivor of cancer created a foundation to help those affected by the disease as well. Funds are raised by cyclists, volunteers and cancer survivors, who appeal to local communities for donations.

When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that ―addicted‖ was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.I see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-sucking technology,where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that ―too much of a good thing is wonderful.‖But it‘s time to discover that it does not work for technology.Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that ―we can be swept away by our technologies.‖To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago coul d be fantastic without today‘s overused technology.1. The underlined word ―allure‖ in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. advantageB. attractionC. a daptionD. attempt2. From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.A. attract people to buy their productsB. provide the latest informationC. improve people‘s quality of lifeD. deal with cultural diseases3. It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.A. consider too much technology wonderfulB. have realized the harm of high-tech devicesC. can regain freedom without high-tech devicesD. may enjoy life better without overused technology4. Wha t‘s the author‘s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?A. Neutral.B. doubtful.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.(8) 健康说明类Texting long messages can be a pain in the neck. The repetitive action of working your fingers across the keyboard of your cell phone can cause some of the same chronic (慢性的) pain problems previously limited to those who‘d spent a lifetime typing.The possible connection is particularly worrying considering how much teens and young adults — and increasingly those in professional settings — are texting nowadays, said Judith Gold, who carried out one of the first studies on the potential connection.Text messaging is a fairly new technology, Gold says, so this is a new area of research for those who study ergonomics (人类工程学). But ―considering the similarities in body position, findings from research on overuse injuries from computers could be applicable‖ to texting.―The way the body is positioned for texting – fixed shoulders and back with rapidly moving fingers – is s imilar to the position for typing on a computer,‖ Gold explained. Previous research has found pain in the elbow connected with too much thumb texting.To look for a broader link between texting and chronic pain, Gold and her colleagues sent a questionnaire to 138 college students, asking them to report the number of text messages they sent per day (in four categories: 0, 1-10, 11-20, 21+ messages) and to point out any discomfort they felt on a body map.The research showed an association between the number of text messages sent per day and shoulder discomfort. The effect seemed to be particularly pronounced in males, though Gold saysshe doesn‘t know why that would be.―What we‘ve seen so far is very similar to what we see with office workers who‘ve spent m ost of their time at a computer,‖ Gold said. However, Gold‘s study did not take account of the amount of time the people surveyed also spent typing on computers, which could be affecting the results.1.In the past, who usually suffered from a pain in the neck according to the passage?A. A writerB. A typistC. A teacherD. A doctor2. The underlined word ―that‖ in Paragraph 6 refers to the fact that _______.A. office workers easily suffer from the body discomfortB. men like to text messages moreC. text messaging causes body discomfortD. males have more shoulder discomfort3. The passage mainly tells us _______.A. what ergonomics isB. texting too much causes a pain in the neckC. whether texting is beneficial or notD. the connection between texting and typing4. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. the study was the first one carried out by GoldB. one positions oneself differently from computer-users when textingC. the amount of computer-use time was calculated in the surveyD. the result of the survey was not 100% convincing5. In which column in the newspaper can you find the passage?A. FashionB. EducationC. HealthD. Entertainment(9) 家庭教育议论文父母的爱有时影响孩子的感情和成长Many Chinese parents think as long as the child is watched by people, there is no danger. But from the start, when the child is born, he needs to communicate with others, especially the communication with parents. Many children in our country are growing up in the environment which lacks a sense of security and love. They want to get back the love lost in childhood but never catch it.On the one hand, Chinese like saving faces; on the other hand, they want to encourage their children to be aspirants(有抱负的人). They often say how hard somebody else is studying, how good their grades are, and what prize they get. This comparison is the worst thing especially when they say it before many people. Each time you compare your children to others, you will only bring them much disappointment and pain.Parents should knock at the door when they go into the room of their children. They should get permission before they move something of their children. Parents should first communicate with their children and consider their decisions. Parents should respect their children, and consider them as adults. This respect should begin from changing diapers. Before changing diapers for the children, parents should tell them. Children who do not be respected also do not know how to respect others.Many parents have high hopes for their children, and force them to the way that they think is right, even if the kids do not fit, or do not like, such as playing the piano or going abroad. Underthis kind of pressure, children become unhappy and the quality time becomes a struggling period. When children recall their childhood, all memories are unhappy, which is indeed the failure of some parents.1. The underlined pronoun ―they‖(in paragraph 1 )probably refers to ―”A. The familiesB. The parentsC. The childrenD. The teachers2.Which of the following probably makes the child disappointed？A. Parents mustn‘t enter the room if not permitted.B. Children‘s decision is more important than parents‘.C. Parents should show respect to their children.D. Children usually don‘t know how to respect others.3. In order to build a good parent-child relation, parents should .A. help choose the way for their childrenB. let their children choose the road of lifeC. pay for their children to receive further studyD. try their best to meet the needs of their children4. According to this passage we can know that Chinese children‘s childhood was.A. unforgettableB. unsuccessfulC. pleasedD. unhappy（10）教育就业类考不上大学可以上美容培训学校容易就业There are plenty of beauty schools throughout the country that can help to start a career in cosmetology(美容学). Nowadays, young people may not be able to afford a four-year college or it may not be something that they are interested in. Students are looking forward to attending a program of beauty schools where it will only take a few months to complete and start their careers right away to earn money.There can be many benefits of going to a cosmetology school. The expense is much less than that of attending a four-year university. Besides, attending a beauty school can gain hands-on experience which can appeal to many people. Some students are not thrilled at sitting all day listening to lecture and taking notes and then havin g to study at night. What‘s more, most programs of beauty schools will always keep up with the changing trends and fashions. So you will always be working on different hairstyles which can give you a lot of experience throughout the years of your career.If you are worried about finding a job after graduation, many beauty schools will offer help for immediate job placement which is a benefit in itself and will give you peace of mind that your school will help you and not make you have trouble looking for a job. Most colleges and universities are not equipped to do that because of the enormous amount of graduates each year.Cosmetologists will also get a great salary.

Here‘s an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12 Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur‘s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration—thousands of years ago, when people began star observation—and forward to today‘s search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein‘s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days.Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and older If you‘re always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle? There‘s a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects.Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9-12If you use a magnifying（放大的）glass, you know a leaf looks quite different.

注意：1．字数120左右。
2．开头部分已给出，不计入总词数。
How Should Parents Help Children to Be Independent?Children are the apple of parents’ eyes, which is particularly true in single-child families．However, Some parents go so far as to arrange everything for their children, from their daily life, their education, to their future.Such a phenomenon may bring about a lot of problems. Firstly, children may become too dependent on their parents and unable to deal with problems on their own. Secondly, they lack sense of social responsib ility. What’s more, whenever facing the fierce social competitions, they feel at a loss and, as a result, can’t find a way out.As far as I am concerned, on one hand, parents should give their children enough freedom to make their own decisions and respect their opinions. On the other hand, parents should encourge their children to find their own ways to solve problems in life.你们学校英语俱乐部组织“2011年感动校园人物”的推荐活动，你们班决定推荐李华。

福建省漳州市2015届高三5月高考适应性试题英语阅读理解一 Word版含答案
1Shree Bose is one of the most impressive kids graduating from Fort Worth Country Day High School this year. Bose has a large circle of friends, and there‘s one who you may have heard of: President Obama. He has twice publicly recognized her achievements in cancer research and spoken with her in the Oval Office.If that isn‘t enough, Bose recently gave a TED Talk about her work with the cancer drug Cisplatin, which also won her first prize at the Google Science Fair and recognition as one of Glamour magazi ne‘s Young Amazing Women of the Year.After watching her grandfather struggle with liver cancer, Bose was determined to help out in any way she could. As a high school student though, her scientific choices were limited. She reached out to various hospitals and research centers, but doctors turned down her requests because they felt she was too inexperienced medically.Only the North Texas Science Health Center respected her determination and chose to guide her. The results were amazing.Bose chose to study a protein (蛋白质) and its reaction with the cancer drug Cisplatin. She noticed that when she prevented this protein from growing, Cisplatin was allowed to begin destroying cancer cells once again.―My project not only contributes to the understanding of the relationship between the protein and Cisplatin, but also suggests a newer, more effective treatment for patients who resist Cisplatin,‖ Bose said.Bose‘s achievements aren‘t limited to the lab, though. She was also captain of her swim team and editor-in-chief of her school paper.Bose is currently getting practical experience at the National Institute of Health and she‘ll be attending Harvard in the fall. She plans to study molecular biology and go to medical school. Eventually, she would like to be a doctor.1. President Obama has spoken with Bose because she ______.A. gave a TED Talk recentlyB. is captain of her swim teamC. has a large circle of friendsD. contributed to the cancer research2. According to Bose‘s research, ______ helps mak e Cisplatin work better.A. stopping the protein from growingB. destroying cancer cells timelyC. using the drug more frequentlyD. making the protein react with the drug3. From the passage, we know that _____.A. Bose‘s research was supported from the startB. Bose plans to become a doctor in the futureC. Bose will study in the National Institute of HealthD. Bose‘s grandfather asked her to do cancer research4. The passage is mainly about _____.A. a research on cancer drugsB. a new effective cancer treatmentC. a doctor who has a promising futureD. a girl who did research on cancer treatment2A surprising new research suggests it can actually be good to feel bad at work, and that feeling good in the workplace can lead to negative outcomes.The study of emotions in the workplace, edited by University of Liverpool researchers Dr. Lindebaum and Peter Jordan, is the topic of a Special Issue of the journal ‘Human Relations‘. They found that the commonly-held belief that being positive in the workplace produces positive outcomes, while negative emotions lead to negative outcomes, may be in need for reconsideration. This is partly due to this belief failing to take into account the differences in working environment which affect outcomes.For instance, anger does not always lead to negative outcomes and in some cases, anger can be considered a force for good through acting upon injustices. An employee, for example, could express anger constructively after a manager has treated a fellow worker unfairly. In such cases, anger can be useful. Likewise, being too positive in the workplace, rather than resulting in greater performance and productivity, can lead to self-satisfaction and being too shallow in one‘s personality.One article within the issue also finds that, within team work situation, negativity can have a good effect, leading to fewer consensuses (共识) but a further discussion or debate on an important issue among workers, which enhances team effectiveness.Lindebaum said, ―The f indings of the study published in this Special Issue challenge the commonly-held belief that in the workplace positive emotions bring about a positive outcome, and vice versa.‖He added, ―This Special Issue adds to our knowledge and understanding of how th e positive and negative dynamics (动态) affect the working environment and is certain to have practical application in the workplace for the years to come.‖1. Why did researchers of the study of emotions find that the commonly-held belief needs to be consideredagain?A. Because different people hold different attitudes towards it.B. Because it doesn‘t consider the differences in real working environment.C. Because it has been proved to be totally wrong in real working environment.D. Because it doesn‘t tell the truth.2. What does the underlined word ―Likewise‖ in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. SimilarlyB. DifferentlyC. ApproximatelyD. Occasionally3. It can be inferred from what Lindebaum said in the last paragraph that ____.A. the findings of the study will completely c hange people‘s belief in the endB. the findings of the study will not have any influence on the workplaceC. the findings of the study won‘t be just a theory published in the journalD. the findings of the study will make us work negatively in the future4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. To Be Positive About Your WorkB. To Be Negative About Your WorkC. Negativity at Work Probably Bringing About Good ThingsD. People Challenging the Commonly-held BeliefOver the years, Brian Wansink, director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University, has studied such things as how far Americans typically drive to buy food, how many times we refill our plates at all-you-can-eat buffets and how we organize our kitchens. In the mid-2000s he famously coined the phase ―mindless eating‖(and wrote a book by that name) to focus attention on all the bad dietary decisions we make without really thinking about them.His new book, Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life, aims to change the design of restaurants, school lunchrooms, office cafeterias and homes so that the mindless choices we make will be more healthful ones. Some examples:Keep kitchen counters clear. No visible snack food, no bread, no nuts — not even breakfast cereal. In Wansink‘s research, ―women who had even one box of breakfast cereal that was visible –- anywhere in their kitchen —weighed 21 pounds more than their neighbor who didn‘t.‖Trick yourself into drinking less wine. ―We tend to focus on the heig ht of what we pour and not the width, so we pour 12 percent less wine into taller wineglasses than we pour into wider wineglasses.‖ And the shape of the glass is not the only variable that affects how much we drink. Wansink writes: ―Because red wine is eas ier to see than white wine, we pour 9 percent less red wine whenever we pour a glass.‖Wansink said his researchers also found that people ate less at restaurants when they sat in well-lighted areas near windows and doors, than in darker areas or in the back. They ate less if they were offered a doggie bag, or to-go box, before they got their meals: apparently the idea of getting a ―free‖ second meal outweighed (比……重要) the impulse (冲动) to clean their plates. Workers who frequently ate at their desks weighed 15.4 pounds less, on average, than those who didn‘t. Fruits and vegetables kept on the top shelf of the refrigerator were eaten at higher rates than those on lower shelves.The point, Wansink says, is to consider findings like those and change your environment or habits. Then you won‘t have to think about it: You‘ll just eat less.1. Why did Brian Wansink write Slim by Design: Mindless eating Solutions for Everyday Life?A. Because he wanted people to become thin.B. Because he wished to change the design of dining places only.C. Because he hoped to coin a new phase ―mindless eating‖.D. Because he intended to help people make more healthful dietary decisions.2. According to Wansink, which of the following affects the amount of wine we drink ____.A. the shape of wineglassesB. the color of wineglassesC. the taste of wineD. the quality of wine3. The underlined phrase ―a doggie bag‖ in paragraph 5 probably means ____.A. a bag for carrying dogsB. a box for junk foodC. a container for leftoversD. a bag for carrying dog food4. What‘s the main idea of the passage?A. Changing environment or habits of eating will help you eat less.B. Eating fruits and vegetables is better for your health.C. Keeping your kitchen counter clear of any food will help make you thin.D. Many people eat or drink too much without paying attention to it.This Is What a REAL Silver Dollar Looks LikeIf you trust in the yen, the euro and the dollar ... stop reading.Because this is a story about the silver coin EVERYBODY wants.You read the headlines.

So，every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels，letters and documents and does h er rounds in North Point. She‘s a courier(快递员)Five years ago．Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for 30 years but was Jobless when the doctor migrated. It was difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. ―People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am，‖she said. After two years of searching, she eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years，she quit Why?‗My colleagues were young and they didn′ t understand me because of my age. They oft en asked me ‗You are so old what are you working for? I was very unhappy‖She said. So while the rest of her family left for work，she was left to lonely boredom at home .Then her neighbours told her about Employee‘s Retraining Board(ERB)offering retraining courses for older people. These courses are specifically designed to encourage the older people back to work.―I was interested in courier work. I didn‘t think my age was a barrier because I was fit.‖Shesaid .Upon graduating，Ms Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company. But then Ms Cheng was faced with a conflict：she was caught between honour and employment―I felt embarrassed about carrying and delivering letters and parcels.‖she said. It took Ms Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind：there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job. So she went off to work as a courier．Ms Cheng‘s employer is delighted with her responsible attitude and said．―I hired older people because they were able and reliable .Age is not an important factor but attitude is Many old people will not run from difficulties but the young ones will‖1. Why was it difficult for Ms Cheng to find another nursing Job?A. Nursing clinics were hard to findB. She found it difficult to trust othersC. People thought she was too old to workD.

According to Anthony Chong，young people___________.A. are more likely to give up than the older onesB. are less experienced than the older oresC. are filler and stronger than the older onesD. are able and reliable5 From the text, we call infer that__________.A. the life of the old is miserableB. there is a generation gap between young and oldC. job—hunting is hard for old peopleD. the old are looked down upon in society6In this age of Internet chat, video games and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she won last year.As a writer, I know about winning contests – and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live u p to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn‘t win the contest again? That‘s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can resurface in our children.A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, ―Don‘t you want to win again?‖ ―No,‖ she replied, ―I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.‖I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly ―guided‖ by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept that I was co-opting my daughter‘s experience.While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.1. What do we learn from the first paragraph?A. Now many amusements compete for children‘s time.B. Children have lots of fun doing mindless activities.C. Rebecca is much too busy to enjoy her leisure time.D. Rebecca often go online for her writing materials.2. What did the author say about her own writing experience?A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more.B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.C. She didn‘t quite live up to her reputation as a writer.D. Her road to success was full of pain and frustrations.3. The underlined word ―resurface‖ in Paragraph 2 probably means ―______‖.A. recycleB. reappearC. reconsiderD. reunite4. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year‘s writing contest?A. She was confident about her talent in writing.B. She was sure of w inning with her mother‘s help.C. She wanted to share her stories with readers.D. She had won a prize in the previous contest.5. The author took great pains to improve her daughter‘s stories because _______.A. she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a writerB. she was afraid Rebecca‘s imagination might run wild while writingC. she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so muchD. she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance6. What‘s the author‘s advice for parents?A. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.B. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.C. Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.D. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.7One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other driver‘s eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking as I was. How dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.As technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives.The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control.In my own life, I‘ve put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, I‘ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.1. The author considers it very important ______.A. to drive with companyB. to have personal independenceC. to gain certain responsibilityD. to share trust and cooperation2. From the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from ______.A. only one experienceB. many similar experiencesC. a driver on a dark roadD. many friends and strangers3. The need for cooperation increases because ______.A. peoples‘ fates can‘t be controlled by themselvesB. certain viruses can spread in a quick wayC. terrorism can happen everywhere and every dayD. the world has become much more dangerous4. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has ______.A. believed in one‘s own personal responsibilityB. counted upon himself alone in everythingC. had no trust in others‘ good faith and judgmentD. had accomplished a change on his viewpoint8You put a great deal of effort into reaching the college of your choice. It‘s time to get started. But wha t‘s next? Beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience.● To save time and money, use the college‘s bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free inmost college towns. You won‘t have to locate or afford a place to park either. It‘s also a good way to be environmentally aware.● Save pennies on b ooks by waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of the recommendedbooks. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks —it‘s a surefire way to save money and serves the purpose as well.● Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. But there is a whole lotmore to college if you‘re serious about graduating. Having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun.● Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your academic success. If the dorm doesn‘t suityou, consider living at home with your family or renting your own apartment. The best location for your studies isn‘t always your dorm. Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out noise.● Be mindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that areprocessed or high in sugar. The ―freshman 15‖ is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year.● While electives (选修课) can b e helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldn‘t entirely rely onthem. Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Make sure, though, that you still have time to study. Having too much on your plate can hurt your grades.1. Which of the following ideas can be financially wise?A. Driving your own car.B. Buying used books.C. Renting an apartment.D. Attending activities.2. In the text, freshmen are repeatedly warned against ______.A. academic failuresB. physical problemsC. traffic accidentsD. social activities3. The ―freshman 15‖ tells the fact that some freshmen ______.A. attend limited activities on campusB. have little regular physical exerciseC. focus less on their academic workD. take relaxed attitudes to their diets4. The underlined phrase ―having too much on your plate‖ probably refers to ______.A. using too much money for mealsB. eating too many unhealthy foodsC. taking part in too many after-class activitiesD. taking an elective that has too many students9Based on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe. Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder whiletropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate (迁徙) north.Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today‘s familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today‘s world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change.In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than pr eviously thought. At this point, it doesn‘t matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What‘s more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.1. Which of the following would be the best title for the Passage ?A. Ways to protect our planet.B. Solutions to climate change.C. Be prepared for climate change.D. Climate change and its effects.2. What is the aut hor‘s purpose in using the examples of earthquakes?A. To show the damage earthquakes caused.B. To remind people to prevent future earthquakes.C. To show major changes are taking place on the planet.D. To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future.3. What does the underlined word ―devastated‖ in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Separated.B. Destroyed.C. Removed.D. Affected.3. What can be inferred from the Passage?A. Animals and plants won‘t die out as long as climate changes slowly.B. There‘s enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.C. The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.D. The earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.10I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himself and will besuccessful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn‘t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids‘ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in hisown way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids‘ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn‘t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique. It makes us free and happy and that‘s just the w ay I want my kids to live their own life.1. Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him ______.A. work fastB. go politeC. stay relaxedD. keep attentive2. The underlined ―it‖ (in the first paragraph) probably refers to ______.A. his son‘s doing better while standing upB. his failure in keeping his son under controlC. his own experience as a school boyD. his disappointment with his active child3. By this passage, the author attempts to tell other parents to ______.A. correct their kids‘ manners from the early agesB. respect and trust their kids‘ ways of behaviorsC. develop a good relationship with their childrenD. guarantee their children‘s freedom at home4. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Parental help with teens‘ studyB. Adult influence on teen growthC. Kids‘ success in their own stylesD. Friendship between generations11Listening to music while you drive can improve your speed and ability to get away from accidents, according to Australian psychologists. But turning your car radio up to full volume could probably make you end up in an accident. The performance of difficult tasks can be influenced if people are subjected to loud noise. The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to do with driving. The psychologists invited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on almost the same driving tasks under three noise conditions: silence, rock music played at a gentle 55 decibels (分贝), and the same music at 85 decibels.For 10 minutes the subjects sat in front of a screen operating a simple machine like a car. They had to track (追踪) a moving disk on screen, respond to traffic signals changing color, and brake in response to arrows that appeared without warning.On the tracking task, there was no difference in performance under the three noise conditions. But under both the loud and quiet music conditions, the performers ―braked‖ at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all. That could mean a reduction in braking distance of a couple of meters actually, the difference between life and death for a pedestrian.When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field, the psychologists found that when。

(A)Several years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. It was the mo st difficult time I have ever faced. I think it was my sense of hu mor that allowed me to hold onto my sanity (心智健全). Like many people who have gone through chemotherapy (化疗), I lost all of my hair, being bald as a golf ball. I always had enjoyed wearing hats, so I ordered several special hats with t he hair already attached. It was easy and I never had to worry about how my hair looked.I have always been a big golf fan. At one point during my can cer treatments, my husband John and I decided to get away fr om the cold Minnesota winter and took a trip to , . There wasa Senior PGA Tour even called “The Tradition” being played, and that seemed like just the ticket to lift my spirits.The first day of the tournament brought out a huge crowd. It w as a beautiful day, and I was in heaven, I was standing and w atching my three favorite golfers in the world approach the tee box (开球区): Jack Nicklaus, Raymond Floyd and Tom Weiskopf.Just as they arrived at the tee, the unimaginable happened. A huge gust of wind came up from out of nowhere and blew my hat and hair right off my head and into the middle of the fairw ay (球道)! The thousands of people lining the fairway fell into an aw kward silence, all eyes on me. Even my three favorite golfers were watching me, as my hair was in their flight path. I was as hamed! Embarrassed as I was, I knew I couldn’t just stand the re. Someone had to do something to get things moving again. So I took a deep breath and out into the middle of the fairway.I took hold of my hat and hair, put them back on my head as best I could. Then I turned to the golfers and loudly announce d, “Gentlemen, the wind is blowing from left to right.”They said the laughter could be heard all the way to the ninet eenth hole.1. What made the author remain mentally healthy even in herillness?A. The Tradition.B. The treatment.C. Her family.D. Her humor.2. The underlined phrase in Para. 3 “in heaven” probably mea ns “___”.A. scaredB. embarrassedC. puzzledD. excited3. Why did the author go into the fairway to pick up her hat and hair?A. To amuse the golfers.B. To give a weather report.C. To have the game restarted.D. To draw others’ attention.4. We can know from the text that the author ___ .A. was fond of wearing hatsB. was an excellent golferC. planed to live inD. felt worried her hair(B)Food and drink makers are adding caffeine (咖啡因) to a growing number of products. Is it safe for kids to cons ume these products?You may have heard adults say they can’t get going in the mo rning without a cup of coffee. One reason why they may feel that way is that coffee contains caffeine, a substance (物质) known to improve and increase energy. Caffeine occurs n aturally in coffee, tea, and cocoa beans, which are used to ma ke chocolate. But now food makers are adding caffeine to ma ny products, from popcorn and potato chips to water. “It’s pos sible for all of this caffeine consumption to add up and becom e dangerous,” says Virginia Stallings, a doctor at the Children’s of .Studies show that too much caffeine can cause inability to sle ep, and a racing heartbeat. What’s more, caffeine is habit-forming. Those who consume it regularly and stop suddenly may experience headaches and feel tired.One of the biggest problems is the large amount of caffeine a dded to so-called energy drinks, like Red Bull. A 12-ounce can of cola has about 35 milligrams of caffeine. A simil ar serving of Red Bull contains more than triple (三倍) that amount. Emergency-room visits related to energy-drink consumption were up from 10,068 visits in 2007 to 20,7 83 in 2011.Teenagers should be aware of caffeine’s effects on health an d on the brain. Take, for example, teenagers who consume ca ffeine to stay awake and study for a test. The effect? Researc h shows they may remember less of what they just studied.So what can be done to protect young people from the harmfu l effects of caffeine? Michael Jacobson of the Center for Scien ce in the Public Interest, says the FDA needs to set limits on c affeine, especially in energy drinks. The amount of caffeine sh ould be printed on food labels to warn consumers. Doctors sa y kids should avoid caffeine. If you need extra energy, try thes e natural methods instead: eating right, exercising, and getting plenty of sleep.5. According to the text, it’s dangerous to add more ___ to drin ks.A. teaB. chocolateC. yoghurtD. caffeine6. What should the FDA do in protecting the consumers?A. Draw up a project about physical exercise.B. Forbid kids from having water with caffeine.C. Create a set of standards on caffeine products.D. Not allow energy drinks to appear in the market.7. What can we learn from the text?A. Cola has much more caffeine the Red Bull.B. More people are suffering from energy drinks.C. Drinking enough Red Bull can help sleep well.D. Having too much caffeine can improve memory.8. The text is written mainly for those ___ .A. who often have headachesB. who are caffeine-product loversC. who usually feel tiredD. who are food and drink makers(C)As weather cools across the , a growing number of Americans visit farms. They harvest apples, enjoy hay wagon rides and walk in the fields. These people are called “agri-tourists”. They improve the economy of rural areas and help f armers increase their profits.School children are walking in a corn field maze (迷宫). The corn is cut into tricky passageways that make it diffic ult to find a way out. The children are from Yorktown Element ary School in . They have traveled to Montpelier Farms in Pri nce George’s County which is also in . The farm is about 40 ki lometers from The White House.Debbie Pierson is the student’s teacher. “We go on these kind of field trips so that the children will have a hands-on experience of what it’s like to be on a farm,” Pierson said. Amy Etsy-Smith is visiting the farm with her children. “We come about once a year, lots of fun, yes. The kids enjoy it. This was her fav orite part, was choosing the pumpkin.” Amy said.When Mike Dunn opened the family farm to agri-tourists in 2008, he had only a corn maze, a pumpkin field and hay wagon rides. But he says, so many people visited that he soon increased the number of activities. He hopes to make a larger profit from visitors than from farming someday. “Our a gri-tourism income might be 30 percent of our entire farm income . We’d like to grow it to one day maybe 60 percent,” Dunn sai d.Americans spent more than $700 million on agri-tourism activities in the in 2012. That is an increase of 24 per cent from 2007.9. When do Americans prefer to pay a visit to family farms?A. In spring.B. In summer.C. In autumn.D. In winter.10. Mike Dunn added some other activities to his farm because he wanted ___ .A. to earn much more moneyB. to develop agriculture betterC. to solve problems on farmingD. to compete with other farms11. We may infer from the last two paragraphs that ___ .A. field trips can help to promote industrial productionB. agri-tourism is becoming more and more popular inC. farmers will make more money in farming than farming trip sD. Americans will spend less than $700 million on field trips in 2016(D)Have you ever felt somebody else’s pain? You’re not alone, w ith new research showing some people do have a physical re action to others’ injuries.British researchers used brain-imaging technology (影像工程学) to show that people who say they feel the pain of others h ave heightened activity in pain- sensing brain regions when th ey see someone else being hurt. For the study, the researche rs exposed 108 college students to images of painful situation , ranging from athletes suffering sports injuries to patients rec eiving an injection. Nearly a third said that, for at least one im age, they not only had an emotional reaction, but also felt pain in the same site as the injury in the image.The researchers found that while viewing the painful images, both people who said they felt pain and those who did not sho wed activity in the emotional centers of the brain. But those w ho felt pain showed greater activity in pain-related brain regions compared with the others.“Pa tients with functional pain experience pain in the absence of an obvious disease or injury to explain their pain. This confi rms that at least some people have an actual physical reactio n when observing others being injured or expressing pain,” Dr . Stuart Derbyshire of the of , one of the researchers, told rep orters.He noted that the people reported feeling pain also tended to say that they avoided horror movies and disturbing images on the news – so as to avoid being in pain.The findings were published in the December issue of the jour nal Pain.12. The underlined words “a third” probably refer to ___ .A. sportsmen experiencing painB. the 36 students involved in the studyC. patients receiving an injectionD. the 108 students exposed to the images13. The researchers observed the students’ emotional activity in their ___ .A. brain regionsB. eye regionsC. facesD. voices14. If you are allergic to pain, you’d better get away from ___ .A. reading journalsB. seeing scary moviesC. listening to the newsD. going to the concert15. What would be the best title for the text?A. Emotional Centers of Your BrainB. You Can Use Brain-imaging TechnologyC. You Can Feel Others’ PainD. Painful Images to the Researchers第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

福建省漳州市高三5月高考适应性试题英语阅读理解一 含答案
1Shree Bose is one of the most impressive kids graduating from Fort Worth Country Day High School this year. Bose has a large circle of friends, and there’s one who you may have heard of: President Obama. He has twice publicly recognized her achievements in cancer research and spoken with her in the Oval Office.If that isn’t enough, Bose recently gave a TED Talk about her work with the cancer drug Cisplatin, which also won her first prize at the Google Science Fair and recognition as one of Glamour magazi ne’s Young Amazing Women of the Year.After watching her grandfather struggle with liver cancer, Bose was determined to help out in any way she could. As a high school student though, her scientific choices were limited. She reached out to various hospitals and research centers, but doctors turned down her requests because they felt she was too inexperienced medically.Only the North Texas Science Health Center respected her determination and chose to guide her. The results were amazing.Bose chose to study a protein (蛋白质) and its reaction with the cancer drug Cisplatin. She noticed that when she prevented this protein from growing, Cisplatin was allowed to begin destroying cancer cells once again.“My project not only contributes to the understanding of the relationship between the protein and Cisplatin, but also suggests a newer, more effective treatment for patients who resist Cisplatin,” Bose said.Bose’s achievements aren’t limited to the lab, though. She was also captain of her swim team and editor-in-chief of her school paper.Bose is currently getting practical experience at the National Institute of Health and she’ll be attending Harvard in the fall. She plans to study molecular biology and go to medical school. Eventually, she would like to be a doctor.1. President Obama has spoken with Bose because she ______.A. gave a TED Talk recentlyB. is captain of her swim teamC. has a large circle of friendsD. contributed to the cancer research2. According to Bose’s research, ______ helps mak e Cisplatin work better.A. stopping the protein from growingB. destroying cancer cells timelyC. using the drug more frequentlyD. making the protein react with the drug3. From the passage, we know that _____.A. Bose’s research was supported from the startB. Bose plans to become a doctor in the futureC. Bose will study in the National Institute of HealthD. Bose’s grandfather asked her to do cancer research4. The passage is mainly about _____.A. a research on cancer drugsB. a new effective cancer treatmentC. a doctor who has a promising futureD. a girl who did research on cancer treatment2A surprising new research suggests it can actually be good to feel bad at work, and that feeling good in the workplace can lead to negative outcomes.The study of emotions in the workplace, edited by University of Liverpool researchers Dr. Lindebaum and Peter Jordan, is the topic of a Special Issue of the journal ‘Human Relations’. They found that the commonly-held belief that being positive in the workplace produces positive outcomes, while negative emotions lead to negative outcomes, may be in need for reconsideration. This is partly due to this belief failing to take into account the differences in working environment which affect outcomes.For instance, anger does not always lead to negative outcomes and in some cases, anger can be considered a force for good through acting upon injustices. An employee, for example, could express anger constructively after a manager has treated a fellow worker unfairly. In such cases, anger can be useful. Likewise, being too positive in the workplace, rather than resulting in greater performance and productivity, can lead to self-satisfaction and being too shallow in one’s personality.One article within the issue also finds that, within team work situation, negativity can have a good effect, leading to fewer consensuses (共识) but a further discussion or debate on an important issue among workers, which enhances team effectiveness.Lindebaum said, “The f indings of the study published in this Special Issue challenge the commonly-held belief that in the workplace positive emotions bring about a positive outcome, and vice versa.”He added, “This Special Issue adds to our knowledge and understanding of how th e positive and negative dynamics (动态) affect the working environment and is certain to have practical application in the workplace for the years to come.”1. Why did researchers of the study of emotions find that the commonly-held belief needs to be consideredagain?A. Because different people hold different attitudes towards it.B. Because it doesn’t consider the differences in real working environment.C. Because it has been proved to be totally wrong in real working environment.D. Because it do esn’t tell the truth.2. What does the underlined word “Likewise” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. SimilarlyB. DifferentlyC. ApproximatelyD. Occasionally3. It can be inferred from what Lindebaum said in the last paragraph that ____.A. the findi ngs of the study will completely change people’s belief in the endB. the findings of the study will not have any influence on the workplaceC. the findings of the study won’t be just a theory published in the journalD. the findings of the study will make us work negatively in the future4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. To Be Positive About Your WorkB. To Be Negative About Your WorkC. Negativity at Work Probably Bringing About Good ThingsD. People Challenging the Commonly-held BeliefOver the years, Brian Wansink, director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University, has studied such things as how far Americans typically drive to buy food, how many times we refill our plates at all-you-can-eat buffets and how we organize our kitchens. In the mid-2000s he famously coined the phase “mindless eating”(and wrote a book by that name) to focus attention on all the bad dietary decisions we make without really thinking about them.His new book, Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life, aims to change the design of restaurants, school lunchrooms, office cafeterias and homes so that the mindless choices we make will be more healthful ones. Some examples:Keep kitchen counters clear. No visible snack food, no bread, no nuts — not even breakfast cereal. In Wansink’s research, “women who had even one box of breakfast cereal that was visible –- anywhere in their kitchen —weighed 21 pounds more than their neighbor who didn’t.”Trick yourself into drinking less w ine. “We tend to focus on the height of what we pour and not the width, so we pour 12 percent less wine into taller wineglasses than we pour into wider wineglasses.” And the shape of the glass is not the only variable that affects how much we drink. Wansin k writes: “Because red wine is easier to see than white wine, we pour 9 percent less red wine whenever we pour a glass.”Wansink said his researchers also found that people ate less at restaurants when they sat in well-lighted areas near windows and doors, than in darker areas or in the back. They ate less if they were offered a doggie bag, or to-go box, before they got their meals: apparently the idea of getting a “free” second meal outweighed (比……重要) the impulse (冲动) to clean their plates. Workers who frequently ate at their desks weighed 15.4 pounds less, on average, than those who didn’t. Fruits and vegetables kept on the top shelf of the refrigerator were eaten at higher rates than those on lower shelves.The point, Wansink says, is to consider findings like those and change your environment or habits. Then you won’t have to think about it: You’ll just eat less.1. Why did Brian Wansink write Slim by Design: Mindless eating Solutions for Everyday Life?A. Because he wanted people to become thin.B. Because he wished to change the design of dining places only.C. Because he hoped to coin a new phase “mindless eating”.D. Because he intended to help people make more healthful dietary decisions.2. According to Wansink, which of the following affects the amount of wine we drink ____.A. the shape of wineglassesB. the color of wineglassesC. the taste of wineD. the quality of wine3. The underlined phrase “a doggie bag” in paragraph 5 probably means ____.A. a bag for carrying dogsB. a box for junk foodC. a container for leftoversD. a bag for carrying dog food4. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Changing environment or habits of eating will help you eat less.B. Eating fruits and vegetables is better for your health.C. Keeping your kitchen counter clear of any food will help make you thin.D. Many people eat or drink too much without paying attention to it.This Is What a REAL Silver Dollar Looks LikeIf you trust in the yen, the euro and the dollar ... stop reading.Because this is a story about the silver coin EVERYBODY wants.You read the headlines.

So，every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels，letters and documents and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier(快递员)Five years ago．Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for 30 years but was Jobless when the doctor migrated. It was difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am，”she said. After two years of se arching, she eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years，she quit Why?‘My colleagues were young and they didn′ t understand me because of my age. They often asked me ‘You are so old what are you working for? I was very unhappy”She s aid. So while the rest of her family left for work，she was left to lonely boredom at home .Then her neighbours told her about Employee’s Retraining Board(ERB)offering retraining courses for older people. These courses are specifically designed to encourage the older people back to work.“I was interested in courier work. I didn’t think my age was a barrier because I was fit.”Shesaid .Upon graduating，Ms Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company. But then Ms Cheng was faced with a conflict：she was caught between honour and employment“I felt embarrassed about carrying and delivering letters and parcels.”she said. It took Ms Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind：there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job. So she went off to work as a courier．Ms Cheng’s employer is delighted with her responsible attitude and said．“I hired older people because they were able and reliable .Age is not an important factor but attitude is Many old people will not run from difficult ies but the young ones will”1. Why was it difficult for Ms Cheng to find another nursing Job?A. Nursing clinics were hard to findB. She found it difficult to trust othersC. People thought she was too old to workD. People didn’t think she had enough wo rk experience2. Ms Cheng left her second nursing job because___________.A. she was bored with change less jobsB. it was too difficultC. she was too old to do the jobD. the other staff made her feel uncomfortable3 Employee“Retraining Board is a plan f or___________.A. finding jobs for older peopleB. teaching new skills to older peopleC. training older people to be healthierD. providing older people with chances to earn money4. According to Anthony Chong，young people___________.A. are more likely to give up than the older onesB. are less experienced than the older oresC. are filler and stronger than the older onesD. are able and reliable5 From the text, we call infer that__________.A. the life of the old is miserableB. there is a generation gap between young and oldC. job—hunting is hard for old peopleD. the old are looked down upon in society6In this age of Internet chat, video games and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she won last year.As a writer, I know about winning contests – and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victorie s. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can resurface in our children.A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music less on. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept that I was co-opting my daughter’s experience.While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.1. What do we learn from the first paragraph?A. Now many amusements compete for children’s time.B. Children have lots of fun doing mindless activities.C. Rebecca is much too busy to enjoy her leisure time.D. Rebecca often go online for her writing materials.2. What did the author say about her own writing experience?A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more.B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.C. She didn’t quite live up to her reputation as a writer.D. Her road to success was full of pain and frustrations.3. The underlined word “resurface” in Paragraph 2 probably means“______”.A. recycleB. reappearC. reconsiderD. reunite4. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest?A. She was confident about her talent in writing.B. She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.C. She wanted to share her stories with readers.D. She had won a prize in the previous contest.5. The author took great pains to improve her daughter’s stories because _______.A. she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a writerB. she was afra id Rebecca’s imagination might run wild while writingC. she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so muchD. she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance6. What’s the author’s advice for parents?A. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.B. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.C. Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.D. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.7One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking as I was. How dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.As technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives.The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control.In my own life, I’ve put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.1. The author considers it very important ______.A. to drive with companyB. to have personal independenceC. to gain certain responsibilityD. to share trust and cooperation2. From the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from ______.A. only one experienceB. many similar experiencesC. a driver on a dark roadD. many friends and strangers3. The need for cooperation increases because ______.A. peoples’ fates can’t be controlled by themselvesB. certain viruses can spread in a quick wayC. terrorism can happen everywhere and every dayD. the world has become much more dangerous4. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has ______.A. believed in one’s own personal responsibilityB. counted upon himself alone in everythingC. had no trust in others’ good faith and judgmentD. had accomplished a change on his viewpoint8You put a great deal of effort into reaching the college of your choice. It’s time to get started. But what’s next? Beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience.● To save time and money, use the college’s bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free inmost college towns. You won’t have to locate or afford a place to park either. It’s also a good way to be environmentally aware.● Save pennies on books by waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of the recommendedbooks. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks —it’s a surefire way to save money and serves the purpose as well.● Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. But there is a whole lotmore to college if you’re serious about graduating. Having a good college exp erience is all about balancing work and fun.● Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your academic success. If the dorm doesn’t suityou, consider living at home with your family or renting your own apartment. The best location for your studies isn’t always your dorm. Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out noise.● Be mindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that areprocessed or hi gh in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year.● While electives (选修课) can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldn’t entirely rely onthem. Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Make sure, though, that you still have time to study. Having too much on your plate can hurt your grades.1. Which of the following ideas can be financially wise?A. Driving your own car.B. Buying used books.C. Renting an apartment.D. Attending activities.2. In the text, freshmen are repeatedly warned against ______.A. academic failuresB. physical problemsC. traffic accidentsD. social activities3. The “freshman 15” tells the fact that some freshmen ______.A. attend limited activities on campusB. have little regular physical exerciseC. focus less on their academic workD. take relaxed attitudes to their diets4. The underlined phrase “having too much on your plate” probably refers to ______.A. using too much money for mealsB. eating too many unhealthy foodsC. taking part in too many after-class activitiesD. taking an elective that has too many students9Based on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe. Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder whiletropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate (迁徙) north.Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today’s familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today’s world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change.In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agr ee that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. At this point, it doesn’t matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What’s more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.1. Which of the following would be the best title for the Passage ?A. Ways to protect our planet.B. Solutions to climate change.C. Be prepared for climate change.D. Climate change and its effects.2. What is the author’s purpose in using the examples of earthquakes?A. To show the damage earthquakes caused.B. To remind people to prevent future earthquakes.C. To show major changes are taking place on the planet.D. To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future.3. What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Separated.B. Destroyed.C. Removed.D. Affected.3. What can be inferred from the Passage?A. Animals and plan ts won’t die out as long as climate changes slowly.B. There’s enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.C. The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.D. The earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.10I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himself and will besuccessful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in hisown way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and uniqu e. It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.1. Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him ______.A. work fastB. go politeC. stay relaxedD. keep attentive2. The underl ined “it” (in the first paragraph) probably refers to ______.A. his son’s doing better while standing upB. his failure in keeping his son under controlC. his own experience as a school boyD. his disappointment with his active child3. By this passage, the author attempts to tell other parents to ______.A. correct their kids’ manners from the early agesB. respect and trust their kids’ ways of behaviorsC. develop a good relationship with their childrenD. guarantee their children’s freedom at home4. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Parental help with teens’ studyB. Adult influence on teen growthC. Kids’ success in their own stylesD. Friendship between generations11Listening to music while you drive can improve your speed and ability to get away from accidents, according to Australian psychologists. But turning your car radio up to full volume could probably make you end up in an accident. The performance of difficult tasks can be influenced if people are subjected to loud noise. The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to do with driving. The psychologists invited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on almost the same driving tasks under three noise conditions: silence, rock music played at a gentle 55 decibels (分贝), and the same music at 85 decibels.For 10 minutes the subjects sat in front of a screen operating a simple machine like a car. They had to track (追踪) a moving disk on screen, respond to traffic signals changing color, and brake in response to arrows that appeared without warning.On the tracking task, there was no difference in performance under the three noise conditions. But under both the loud and quiet music conditions, the performers “braked” at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all. That could mean a reduction in braking distance of a couple of meters actually, the difference between life and death for a pedestrian.When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field, the psychologists found that when。
