福建省厦门六中2014届高三考前模拟(英语)2
福建省厦门六中2014届高三考前模拟（英语）2高考英语2014-05-28 0858CBotany, the study of plants, plays a strange role in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was one field about which humans had little knowledge. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre - industrial societies that still exists, a detailed learning of plants and their properties(特性) must be extremely ancient. This is reasonable. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the good of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, medicines, housing, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the woods of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct relation with plants, and the less clear our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on a surprising amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our New Stone Age ancestors, living in the Middle East about 2014,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer production the next season, the first great stepin a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture planted crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting alittle here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and close relations with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.64．What does “Botany” in paragraph 1 refer to ?A．plants B．agriculture C．human knowledge D．the study of plants65．Which of the following assumptions（假设）about early humans is expressed in the passage?A. They probably had wide knowledge of plants.B. They clearly divided knowledge into separate fieldsC. They did not enjoy the study of botany.D. They placed great importance on ownership of property.66．According to the passage, why has general knowledge of botany decreased?A．People no longer value plants as a useful resource.B．Botany is not recognized as a special branch of science.C．Research is unable to keep up with the increasing number of plants.D．Direct relation with a variety of plants has decreased.67．According to the passage, what was the first great step toward the practice of agriculture?A．The invention of agriculture tools and machines.B．The development of a system of names for plants.C．The discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted.D．The changing food of early humans.DAll over the country these days, e-mail messages are ending with this strange little mark -) or -(.It was 20 years ago that Scott Fahlman taught the Net how to smile. The Carnegie Mellon computer scientist has devoted his life to man-made intelligence, the practice of teaching computers how to thinklike humans, but the scientist is perhaps best known for a flash of inspiration that helped to define Internet culture.By the early 1980s the Computer Science Group at Carnegie Mellon was making heavy use of online notice boards. A good many of the messages were humorous. The problem was that if someone made a humorous remark, a few readers would fail to get the joke. This problem caused some people to suggest that maybe it would be a good idea to clearly mark messages that were not to be taken seriously. After all, when using text-based online communication, we lack the body language or the tone of voice that communicates this information when we talk in person or on the phone. So on Sept. 19, 1982, Fahlman typed -) in an online message. “I had no idea I was starting something that would soon pollute all the world’s communicationsc hannels,” he wrote later. The “smiley face” has since become common in online communication.This creation caught on quickly around Carnegie Mellon, and soon spread to other universities and research labs by means of the computer networks of the day. Since then, the smiling marks havetaken the e-mail world by storm.Yahoo, Microsoft and America Online all put the faces into their instant-messaging systems, while telecom companies, jewelry makersand online merchants have sent in trademark applications for products and ads that include Fahlman’s smiley face.But Fahlman has never seen a dollar from his creation. “If itcost people a cent to use it, nobody would have used it. This is my little gift to the world, for better or worse,” he said.68. Which of the following is not true?A. Fahlman is a computer scientistB. When using text-based online communication, we can’t use our body languageC. Fahlman has devoted all his life to inventing the smiley faces.D. Fahlman’s smiley face became popular soon after its creation69. The purpose of Fahlman in typing the first smiley face was________.A. to show others that he didn’t take his message seriouslyB. to fill all the world’s communications channels with smiley facesC. to make money out of telecom companies and online merchantsD. to show his happy feelings and to help to define Internet culture70. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The Internetculture. B. The online communications system.C. The humorous message.D. The online smiley face.71. What can we infer from the text?A. Fahlman invented the smiley faces to become wealthy and famous.B. Fahlman doesn’t mind that people use his smiley faces for free.C. Fahlman is disappointed that nobody would like to pay a cent for the smiley faces.D. The smiley faces were created to pollute the world’s communications channels.E1. What will I need to take a Test?You need a photo ID, your instructor’s name, a pencil or pen, a calculator, etc.2. How will I know about time limits?Students will be informed of any testing time limits, and notified when time is up.3. If I have my books or backpack, does the Test Center have a place to store them while I’m testing?Yes. Students will be asked to leave all books, backpacks, purses and any other personal items in a lockable storage room.4. The only time I can take a test is during lunch. Can I eat my lunch while I am testing?No food or drink are allowed in the Test Center.5. I conduct business via a pager(寻呼机) or cell phone. Will I be allowed to use them in the Test Center?No. all pagers and cell phones must be turned off before entering the Test Center. There are other students testing who may be distracted by these devices.6. If I need to borrow more scratch paper(草稿纸) am I allowed to borrow from another student in the Test Center?Ask the teacher and more material will be given. Talking is not permitted in the Test Center. You will give all scratch paper to the teacher at the end of the test.7. If I start a test but don’t finish it, can I come back the next day to finish it?If you have prior(在先的) arrangements with your instructor you may continue a test the next day. Students are expected to complete their test before closing time of the Test Center. Depending on the test, most tests will not be given within one hour of closing time.72. What does the underlined word “notified” probably mean?A. Noticed.B. told.C. Questioned.D. Warned.73.
