ADear Daughter,As we drove off from Columbia University, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: "Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten." What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about— this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what y ou learn isn't critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever，so do your best in classes and learn.Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don't be trapped in what others think or say.Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick a few friends and become really close to them —pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success— that I am genuine with people and tru st them (unless they do something to lose my trust).Please treasure your college years –make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges. MayColumbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.Love,Dad (& Mom)21. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. Education is what you learn at school.B. Ability is more important than knowledge.C. Learning and analyzing are equally important.D. Colleges only focus on skills of learning.22. The writer thinks his daughter should_____________.A. ask for his advice on her choiceB. make a lot of friendsC. get along well with her friendsD. spare no effort to succeed23. According to the passage, the writer is a _________ father.A. wise and caringB. strict and warm-heartedC. generous and talentedD. diligent and successful24. Why does the father write this letter?A. To inform his daughter of college life.B. To show father’s love.C. To broaden his daughter’s mind..D. To guide his daughter.BAs the proverb goes, man struggles upwards; water flows downwards. Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans. But downhill isn’t the only way that water moves. A new study measures how wat er travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn’t the type we usually think about.These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of “virtual water”.We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However,92％of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats. These products are shipped around the world.For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water—about 95%is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4％goes into the packaging and labeling. In Hoekstra’s calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator．According to Hoekstra’s new report，dry countries like Israel and Kuwait，both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries，like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.25. The proverb in Paragraph One is used to_________.A. inspire readers to struggle upwardB. tell a law of natureC. introduce the topic of the passageD. summarize the main idea of the passage26. In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside? .A. The United Kingdom and ChinaB. America a nd IsraelC. The Netherlands and KuwaitD. The Netherlands and America27. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Benefits of Virtual WaterB. Hidden Uses of WaterC. Crops and Virtual WaterD. Water’s Worldwide Travels28. Where does the passage probably come from?A .A science news report. B. A newspaper advertisement.C. A book review.D. A science fiction story.CThough many Inter net celebrities try to shrug off their fame, Yan Mingliang, 27, has dreamed of joining the Internet elite(精英) ever since he entered college.However, luck didn’t favor him. Instead, fame fell into the lap of his pet dog, Beiji. In early 2015, Yan used his microblog to post two pictures of Beiji lying on the ground, and they went viral on social media. Because he took the photos at a strange angle, it almost looks like Beiji’s body has fallen apart.Finally, Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity, or more accurately, the owner of an Internet celebrity dog. New followers started to flood in, and Yan received hundreds of private messages each day. In less than four weeks, Yan managed to attract more than 20,000 followers. “I am famous now.”Yan thought at that time.However, fame didn’t just bring joy, but also annoyance. Since Beiji was only 3 months old and Yan sometimes had to put him into a cage as a means of “education”, there were also private messages from followers who fiercely criticized Yan for being too cruel.“It gradually occurred to me that no matter how frankly you present yourself on social media, Internet users only witness part of your life. And their judgments depend on that partial life story of yours,” said Yan, “They don’t know how hard it is to raise a pet dog when you’re unemployed, Yan explained. They also don’t care about whether the dog they’re enjoying is being pushed too hard.”Yan finally decided to leave his Internet fame behind and focus more on his real life. “The lesson I learned is that, if you can’t live up to your followers’expectations, it’s better not to be an Internet celebrity,” he said.29. The underlined phrase “went viral” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. were exposedB. became widely-spreadC. were criticizedD. became viruses30. Why did Yan become famous?A. Because his dog became famous.B. Because he posted two pictures on the Internet.C. Because he took a strange picture.D. Because he became an Internet celebrity.31. How did Yan probably feel at first when he realized he became well-known?A. puzzled and annoyedB. surprised and tiredC. disappointed and annoyedD. excited and joyful32. What can we infer from what Yan said in the last two paragraphs?A. It is hard to raise a pet dog.B. He isn’t fully understood on the Internet.C. He decided to stop making use of his microblog.D. Internet celebrities can’t satisfy their followers.DYou might think going to school during the summer is opposite to what summertime is all about. But for the thousands of Calgary kids with a true love of learning, there’s no better time to have fun with their education, while at the same time getting a rough idea of what their post-secondary future might hold.The University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and SAIT Polytechnic all offer summertime programs that give kids hands-on experience in the labs and other facilities they’l l be working in down the road.“Our bread and butter is Mini University PhD,” says Don McSwiney, spokesperson for U of C Summer Camps. “The idea is to give people a fun learning experience and a hands-on learning experience, which helps kids understand concepts better than learning in a book.” Mini University PhD gets kids into the labs and art studios of the U of C, where they take part in programs such as The Scientist, where they learn about topics like mapping DNA and creating volcanoes. Mini U programs dealing with art and sports are also being offered this year. Minds in Motion motivates kids to explore science, engineering and technology in a hands-on way.At Mount Royal, the MRU Kids program is marking its 20th anniversary. “We have about 18 different programs for children from 6 to 17.” says program administrator Maya Anderson. There's also the ConocoPhillips Youth Science Academy for ages 13 to 17，which focuses more on the academic -- those who want to go into science. More than 3,200 kids are expected to take part in MRU summer programs, which helps to keep kids engaged in learning through the summer in a fun way.SAIT Polytechnic has added more camps for the grades 4 to 6 range, and the list includes topics ranging from Sports Science and SCISpy, to Planet Protectors (energy, engineering, environment).“We focus on building self-confidence in our campers,” says Jaros. “Making them confident in their ability to learn and become reengaged in learning, without the pressure of school.”33. If a student wants to know how to map DNA, he should attend_________.A. MRU kidsB. The ScientistC. Minds in MotionD. Einstein’s Shampoo34. We can learn from the passage that_________.A. the campers have great fun in the summertime programsB. the summertime programs merely focus on hands-on learning coursesC. the program of sports has been offered for 20 yearsD. the summer campers are all confident of their future35. The purpose of the passage is __________.A. to show children’s great desire for knowledgeB. to complain students’ stressful life during the summertimeC. to persuade parents to send their children to more programs in universityD. to introduce summertime programs performed by three Calgary universities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。

They also don’t care about whether the dog they’re enjoying is being pushed too hard.”Yan finally decided to leave his Internet fame behind and focus more on his real life. “The lesson I learned is that, if you can’t live up to your followers’ expectations, it’s better not to be an Internet celebrity,” he said.29.The underlined phrase “went viral” in Paragraph 2 probably means .A.were exposedB. became widely-spreadC. were criticizedD. became viruses30.Why did Yan become famous?A.Because his dog became famous.B.Because he posted two pictures on the Internet.C.Because he took a strange picture.D.Because he became an Internet celebrity.31.How did Yan probably feel at first when he realized he became well-known?A.puzzled and annoyedB. surprised and tiredC. disappointed and annoyedD. excited and joyful32.What can we infer from what Yan said in the last two paragraphs?A.It is hard to raise a pet dog.B.He isn’t fully understood on the Internet.C.He decided to stop making use of his microblog.D.Internet celebrities can’t satisfy their followers.DYou might think going to school during the summer is opposite to what summertime is all about. But for the thousands of Calgary kids with a true love of learning, there’s no better time to have fun with their education, while at the same time getting a rough idea of what their post- secondary future might hold.The University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and SAIT Polytechnic all offer summertime programs that give kids hands-on experience in the labs and other facilities they’ll be working in down the road.“Our bread and butter is Mini University PhD,” says Don McSwiney, spokesperson for U of C Summer Camps. “The idea is to give people a fun learning experience and a hands-on learning experience, which helps kids understand concepts better than learning in a book.” Mini University PhD gets kids into the labs and art studios of the U of C, where they take part in programs such as The Scientist, where they learn about topics like mapping DNA and creating volcanoes. Mini U programs dealing with art and sports are also being offered this year. Minds in Motion motivates kids to explore science, engineering and technology in a hands-on way.At Mount Royal, the MRU Kids program is marking its 20th anniversary. “We have about 18 different programs for children from 6 to 17.” says program administrator Maya Anderson. There's also the ConocoPhillips Youth Science Academy for ages 13 to 17，which focuses more on the academic -- those who want to go into science. More than 3,200 kids are expected to take part in MRU summer programs, which helps to keep kids engaged in learning through the summer in a fun way.SAIT Polytechnic has added more camps for the grades 4 to 6 range, and the list includes topics ranging from Sports Science and SCISpy, to Planet Protectors (energy, engineering, environment).“We focus on building self-confidence in our campers,” says Jaros. “Making them confident in their ability to learn and become reengaged in learning, without the pressure of school.”33.If a student wants to know how to map DNA, he should attend .A.MRU kidsB.

英语高考模拟卷-惠州市2016届高三第一次模拟考试英语试题及答案
惠州市2016届高三第一次模拟考试英语第I卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ADear Daughter,As we drove off from Columbia University, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: "Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten." What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about— this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever，so do your best in classes and learn.Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don't be trapped in what others think or say.Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick a few friends and become really close to them —pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success— that I am genuine with people and trust them (unless they do something to lose my trust).Please treasure your college years – make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges. May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossominto just what you dream to be.Love,Dad (& Mom)21. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. Education is what you learn at school.B. Ability is more important than knowledge.C. Learning and analyzing are equally important.D. Colleges only focus on skills of learning.22. The writer thinks his daughter should_____________.A. ask for his advice on her choiceB. make a lot of friendsC. get along well with her friendsD. spare no effort to succeed23. According to the passage, the writer is a _________ father.A. wise and caringB. strict and warm-heartedC. generous and talentedD. diligent and successful24. Why does the father write this letter?A. To inform his daughter of college life.B. To show father’s love.C. To broaden his daughter’s mind..D. To guide his daughter.BAs the proverb goes, man struggles upwards; water flows downwards.Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans. But downhill isn’t the only way that water moves. A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow i sn’t the type we usually think about. These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of “virtual water”.We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However,92％of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats. These products are shipped around the world.For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water—about 95% is used to grow and processthe ingredients(原料).Another 4％goes into the packaging and labeling. In Hoekstra’s calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator．According to Hoekstra’s new report，dry countries like Israel and Kuwait，both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries，like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.25. The proverb in Paragraph One is used to_________.A. inspire readers to struggle upwardB. tell a law of natureC. introduce the topic of the passageD. summarize the main idea of the passage26. In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside? .A. The United Kingdom and ChinaB. America and IsraelC. The Netherlands and KuwaitD. The Netherlands and America27. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Benefits of Virtual WaterB. Hidden Uses of WaterC. Crops and Virtual WaterD. Water’s Worldwide Travels28. Where does the passage probably come from?A. A science news report.B. A newspaper advertisement.C. A book review.D. A science fiction story.CThough many Internet celebrities try to shrug off their fame, Yan Mingliang, 27, has dreamed of joining the Internet elite(精英) ever since he entered college.However, luck didn’t favor him. Instead, fam e fell into the lap of his pet dog, Beiji. In early 2015, Yan used his microblog to post two pictures of Beiji lying on the ground, and they went viral on social media. Because he took the photos at a strange angle, it almost looks like Beiji’s body has fallen apart.Finally, Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity, or more accurately, the owner of an Internet celebrity dog. New followers started to flood in, and Yan received hundreds of private messages each day. In less than four weeks, Yan managed to attract more than 20,000followers. “I am famous now.” Yan thought at that time.However, fame didn’t just bring joy, but also annoyance. Since Beiji was only 3 months old and Yan sometimes had to put him into a cage as a means of “education”, there were also private messages from followers who fiercely criticized Yan for being too cruel.“It gradually occurred to me that no matter how frankly you present yourself on social media, Internet users only witness part of your life.

ALETTER FROM OUR PUBLISHERA.Book TVB.The Los Angeles TimesC.Natural History MuseumD.Los Angeles Public Library2.How are the best book prize chosen?A.By a group of experts.B.By a vote of the author.C.By the reading public.D.By festival sponsors.3.What is true about tickets to the festival?A.They are only for published authors.B.They include transport to each event.location.C.They can only be applied for online.D.They can be purchased at the eventBIn 1800, only three percent of the world’s population lived in cities. Only one city —Beijing— had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150 million people lived incities, and the world’s ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point — more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species.In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively — crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization (城市化) is good news, offering solutions to the problems of Earth’s growing population.Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people” reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages.Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land. This leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.So it’s a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it’s a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth.4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The history of modern cities.B. Changes taking place within cities.C. How cities have grown over time.D. Why modern cities are changing.5. How have experts’ attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths.B. They no longer see city- living asattractive.C. They accept city life in spite of its problems.D. They think city- living provides more benefits.6. Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with?A. Cities provide more economicopportunities.B. City people get along better with eachother.C. Over-crowded cities result in problems.D. Cities limit the flow of ideas.7. According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities?A. Economic production would be reduced.B. There would be less farmland available.C. People would travel less frequently.D. House values would fall greatly.CIt was December 25, 1914, only months into World W arⅠ. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socialising with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front.German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.8. The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because ________.A. they couldn’t bear the meaninglessB. it was the best way to avoid being killed killingbackgroundsC. they feared that they would be caughtD. their enemies were from similar9. How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’ socialising?A. They sent the soldiers’ loved ones to prison.B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.10. The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.A. satisfiedB. shockedC. amusedD. confused11. The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.A. are not trustworthy under stressB. are naturally aggressive and war-likeself-interestC. are basically caring and kindheartedD. will always do what is in their ownDEarlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organization — including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC— to place newsstories directly into users’ personal Facebook webpage. Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn — at least for now. The deal shows how important social, media has become to news organisations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing — and has been for a while.When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo!have been punishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports — areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that Facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn’t their primary function — so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.There’s also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article — at least for daily news — I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.12.What is the main purpose of the article?A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook..B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.D. To describe the process of online news reporting.13. Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________.A. these are the most popular topics for online readersB. there are fewer journalists specialising in these areasC. information on these topics is more easily availableD. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas14. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Journalism.B. Advertising.C. Facebook.D. Business.15. In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?B. The author's opinion is clear.A. The information presented isup-to-date.D. The language used is vivid.C. Different views on the topic arepresented.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

When Frankie Moran first saw his son, he could not imagine ever sharing his love of music with the boy.But Cole was not deaf. He quickly showed an interest in music. Mr. Moran is a singer and songwriter. He says his son liked to be nearby when he was making music at home.When he was just one year old, Cole started playing notes(音符) of simple songs on a toy piano. "That is about the same time we discovered he had perfect sense of pitch(音高). Because when he would miss a note and hit the wrong notes in a song like …Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,' he would go back and find that note. So that's how we realized he knew what he was hearing."Cole Moran is now 12 years old. Cole plays music every day. He records his performances and listens back to the sound.Cole's choice of instrument since he was four has been the harmonica(口琴), which he often plays with his dad. Last year, the father and son won second place at a Fiddler's Convention in their hometown.The 12-year-old released his first CD recently. His mother, Jenny Moran, was excited. "It is wonderful that he has something that he can do for the rest of his life that he will always enjoy."Cole attends Maryland School for the Blind in Baltimore. There will be lots of time for music when classes end for the summer break. Frankie Moran says he and Cole plan to do a series of Blind Wind performances around the country.4.

Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Never Judge a Person by His Appearance.B. Every Man Has His Faults (缺点)C. Failure Is the Mother of SuccessD. Blind Boy Defines (明确) His Life With MusicCMost people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry(产业)there is called “Bollywood”. Each year, Bollywood makes twice as many movies as Hollywood.The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, adventure, mystery and romance. Because Bollywood films has so many different characters, this style of film is called a “masala” film. Masala is an Indian word for a mixture(混合) of spices(调味品).Another big difference is the way the movies are made. It takes longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script(剧本) is finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the filming is being made. Sometimes they even write the script by hand instead of typing it.Bollywood actors are so popular that some of them may even work on several movies at the same time. They may even make several different films on the same day using the same costumes(戏装) and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps to keep the cost(成本) of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies.8.What is Not True about Mumbai?A. It is the movie capital of India.B. The new name is Bombay.C. More movies are made there than in Hollywood.D. It is less expensive to make films there than in Hollywood.9. Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films?A. They have spicy stories.B. They show Indian culture.C. They mix different styles of movies.D. They are much longer than Hollywood films.10.Bollywood movies are cheap to make because_______A. the scripts are written by hand.B. they are shorter than Hollywood films.C. the movies do not use any special effects(特效).D. some movie reuses things from other movies.11. Which of the following statements would the writer probably agree with?A. Hollywood movies are too violent.B. It takes a lot of masala to make a movie.C. Most Bollywood movie are very similar.D. Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies.DGreen is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe(成熟的) or finished.For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today --- a person who is new in a job.About 100 years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities back east. The greenhorn lacked the skills he would need to live in the west.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early 1900s. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play "Othello."It describes the unpleasant feeling that a person has when someone has something that he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.In most places in the world, a green light is a signal to move ahead. A green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on. In everyday speech, a green light means approval to continue with a project.12. If a person was a greenhorn, he might ___________.A. be good at growing plantsB. get along well with othersC. be a soldier in the 16th centuryD. have no experience in doing something13. When you have trouble in growing flowers, you can ask for help from ___________.A. a green thumbB. a green lightC. a greenhornD. a green-eyed monster14. If a girl refuses your invitation to a dance party but accepting another gentleman‟s, you may___________.A. need to buy a green lightB. have to get a green thumbC. show them your greenhornD. be affected by the green-eyed monster15. What is the passage mainly about?A. The origin of the word “green”.B. Some expressions concerning green.C. The story of a green-eyed monster.D. Some ways of how to use words properly.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。

A wheelchair user may need help to enter .A. the HouseB. the gardenC. the Visitor’s CentreD. the exhibition hallBIt’s not easy being a teenager – nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for his should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy. Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you areopen to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.4. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents ______.A. how to get along with a teenagerB. how to respect a teenagerC. how to understand a teenagerD. how to help a teenager grow up5. What does the phrase “clam up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. become excitedB. show respectC. refuse to talkD. seek help6.

What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?A. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs.B. Give him advice only when necessary.C. Let him have his own telephone.D. Not talk about personal things with him.CWe have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals,” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,” says Isaksen.“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,” says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A newbug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful. Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.8. We learn from Paragraph 1 that the pet sold at the shop may _________.A. come from ColumbiaB. prevent us from being infectedC. enjoy being with childrenD. suffer from monkey-pox9. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?A. They attack human beings.B. We need to study native animals.C. They can’t live out of the rain forest.D. We do not know much about them yet.10. What does the phrase “the wake-up call” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. a new diseaseB. a clear warningC. a dangerous animalD. a morning call11. The text suggests that in the future we _______.A. may have to fight against more new diseasesB. may easily get infected by diseases from dogsC. should not be allowed to have petsD. should stop buying pets from AfricaD.Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting tobe around? What had held him back before?The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father.

ADear Daughter,As we drove off from Columbia University, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: "Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten." What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about — this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever , so do your best in classes and learn.Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don't be trapped in what others think or say.Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick a few friends and become really close to them — pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success — that I am genuine with people and trust them （unless they do something to lose my trust）.Please treasure your college years - make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny,be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges. May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.Love,Dad (& Mom)21. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. Education is what you learn at school. B. Ability is more important than knowledge. C. Learning and analyzing are equally important. D. Colleges only focus on skills of learning. 22. The writer thinks his daughter should. A. ask for his advice on her choice B. make a lot of friends C. get along well with her friends23. According to the passage, the writer is a A. wise and caring C. generous and talented24. Why does the father write this letter?A. To inform his daughter of college life. C. To broaden his daughter" s mind..BAs the proverb goes, man struggles upwards: water flows downwards. Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans. But downhill isn' t the only waythat water moves. A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn the typet we usually think about.These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to n ation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of " virtual water ”.We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However,92 % of the water used by people goes into growingcrops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats. These products are shipped around the world.For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170and 310 liters of water — about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4 % goes into the packaging andlabeling. In Hoekstra 's calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad , it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator .According to Hoekstra 's new report, dry countries like Israel and Kuwait , both in the Middle East, get the majority of theirvirtual water from other countries , through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries , like the Netherlands andthe United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.25. The proverb in Paragraph One is used to.D. spare no effort to succeed _ father.B. strict and warm-hearted D. diligent and successfulB. To show father's love. D. To guide his daughter.A.inspire readers to struggle upwardB. tell a law of natureC. introduce the topic of the passageD. summarize the main idea of the passage26.In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside? .A.The United Kingdom and ChinaB. America and IsraelC. The Netherlands and KuwaitD. The Netherlands and America27.What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Benefits of Virtual WaterB. Hidden Uses of WaterC. Crops and Virtual WaterD. Water 'Worldwide Travels28.Where does the passage probably come from?A .A science news report. B. A newspaper advertisement.C. A book review.D. A science fiction story.CThough many Internet celebrities try to shrug off their fame, Yan Mingliang, 27, has dreamed of joining the Internet elite（精英）ever since he entered college.However, luck didn 't favor him. Instead, fame fell into the lap of his pet dog, Beiji. In early 2015, Yan used his microblog to post two pictures of Beiji lying on the ground, and they went viral on social media. Because he took the photos at a strange angle, it almost looks like Beiji 'sbody has fallen apart.Finally, Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity, or more accurately, the owner of an Internet celebrity dog. New followers started to flood in, and Yan received hundreds of private messages each day. In less than four weeks, Yan managed to attract more than 20,000 followers. I am famous now." Yan thought at that time.However, fame didn 't just bring joy, but also annoyance. Since Beiji was only 3 months old and Yan sometimes had to put him into a cage as a means of education", there were also private messages from followers who fiercely criticized Yan for being too cruel.It gradually occurred to me that no matter how frankly you present yourself on social media, Internet users only witness part of your life. And their judgments depend on that partial life story of yours, said Yan, They don't know how hard it is to raise a pet dog when you 're unemployed, Yan explained. They also don 't care about whether the dog they 're enjoying is being pushed too hard."Yan finally decided to leave his Internet fame behind and focus more on his real life. The lesson I learned is that, if you can 't live up to your followers ' expectations, it's better not to be an Internet celebrity," he said.29.The underlined phrase went viral " in Paragraph 2 probably means .A. were exposedB. became widely-spreadC. were criticizedD. became viruses30.Why did Yan become famous?A.Because his dog became famous.B.Because he posted two pictures on the Internet.C.Because he took a strange picture.D.Because he became an Internet celebrity.31.How did Yan probably feel at first when he realized he became well-known?A. puzzled and annoyedB. surprised and tiredC. disappointed and annoyedD. excited and joyful32.What can we infer from what Yan said in the last two paragraphs?A.It is hard to raise a pet dog.B.He isn't fully understood on the Internet.C.He decided to stop making use of his microblog.D.Internet celebrities can 't satisfy their followers.DYou might think going to school during the summer is opposite to what summertime is all about. But for the thousands of Calgary kids with a true love of learning, there ' s no bette have fun with their education, while at the same time getting a rough idea of what their post-secondary future might hold.The University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and SAIT Polytechnic all offer summertime programs that give kids hands-on experience in the labs and other facilities they ' ll be working in down the road.Our bread and butter is Mini University PhD, " says Don McSwiney, spokesperson for U of C Summer Camps. " The idea is to give people a fun learning experience and a hand-on learning experience, which helps kids understand concepts better than learning in a book. Mini University "PhD gets kids into the labs and art studios of the U of C, where they take part in programs such as The Scientist, where they learn about topics like mapping DNA and creating volcanoes. Mini U programs dealing with art and sports are also being offered this year. Minds in Motion motivates kids to explore science, engineering and technology in a hands-on way.At Mount Royal, the MRU Kids program is marking its 20th anniversary. " We have about 18 different programs for children from 6 to 17. " says program administrator Maya Anderson.There's also the ConocoPhillips Youth Science Academy for ages 13 to 17 , which focuses more on the academic -- those who want to go into science. More than 3,200 kids are expected to take part in MRU summer programs, which helps to keep kids engaged in learning through the summer in a fun way.SAIT Polytechnic has added more camps for the grades 4 to 6 range, and the list includes topics ranging from Sports Science and SCISpy, to Planet Protectors (energy, engineering, environment)."We focus on building self-confidence in our campers, " says Jaros.

第Ⅰ卷阅读甲必做题一、现代文阅读（9 分，每题 3 分）赏识的精神自由朱以撒苏东坡在《孙莘老求墨妙亭诗》中有句：“短长肥瘦各有态，玉环飞燕谁敢憎。
”除了反应每一位书法家的创作有其个性以外，还有一个赏识者审美兴趣的差别。
世界上没有两片相同的树叶，也不会有全然相同的赏识。
抱朴子说得好：“观听殊好，爱憎难同。
”但是，拥有独到的审美眼力倒是不易的。
在很多场合上，赏识这样陈陈相因，甚至把古人的赏识定论移过来，取代自己的赏评。
这样，赏识以前要“去蔽”则不是杞人忧天。
千百年来，一些名作历经赏识，结论充栋宇而汗牛马，给后代形成定势，无形中成不二法门，影响和拘束着不一样看法的睁开，以致赏识循旧辙而无新意。
其次，绅士效应也给人以悲观的影响。
凡是赏识作品，先关注书者名姓：啊，绅士所书，笔下绝对精选。
有人就对我说中国书法家协会主席的书法是最好的，原由是：“假如不是最好为何让他当主席？为何不让你当？” 这种赏识观的失误，在于它针对一个人的职务，而忘掉了应当针对他的作品——只有面对作品才是靠谱的。
应当果断粉碎这种绅士观、职务观。
当我们赏识秦简、汉简时，那些平常巷陌人家、守境戍边战士、无名百姓留下的作品，创建了一个个美好的空间，其实不逊色于同期间名家的小篆和隶书。
对赏识者而言，平常心态，有助于赏识本真的韵致，摒去那些空幻的、夸诞的表相。
狭小的赏识也是需要抵抗的。
赏识过程形成的积弊、恶习，使赏识遇到限制，格局狭窄，浮薄相扇。

AEDGEWOOD—Every morning at Dixie Heights High school, customers pour into a special experiment :the district’s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries. By closing ti me at 9:20 a.m. , the shop usually sells 90 drinks. ―Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good, ‖Christy McKinley , a second year student , announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher.The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school. They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks , which they keep in check registers.Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia. Not that it was easy. Chevalier’s first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content? Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition guidelines.1.The coffee shop is mostly run by____________.A. all the studentsB. all the teachersC. students with special learning needs.D. some special-education teachers2. When does the coffee shop close?A. In the early morning.B. At 9:20 a.m.C. At 9 a.m.D. in the afternoon3. The Dixie PIT program was introduced in order to .A. raise money for school affairsB. do some research on nutritionC. supply teachers with drinksD. develop students’ practical skillsBPicture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook –only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you. It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists.Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves. The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands. According to its creators, the arms can chop, stir, whisk and baste well enough to recreate almost anything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-cooked supper, or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef. The hands move a little slowly, hovering strangely above the work surface whenever they are not busy, but they imitate human movements closely enough that they can do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.Mr Oleynik, who is leading the project, said, ―All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here. There is no limitation. A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants, but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home. This is an opportunity for people to enjoy very good food, and for a reasonable price. ‖The only cuisine that is off the robot’s menu at the moment is sushi, whic h requires extremely steady pressure and nimble fingers to make, but the team plan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.4. People go to Michelin-starred restaurants in order to______.A. appreciate car tires.B. enjoy delicious mealsC. see the new robot chefsD. escape from work5. What does the underlined word ―they‖ in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. British scientistsB. The robot chef’s armsC. Cooks at restaurantsD. Household wives6. Which kind of food CAN’T the robot chef cook at present?A. BreadB. BeefC. SushiD. Sandwich7. What can we infer from the passage?A. Hands of a robot chef can perform exactly like a cook.B. Robot chefs are available at shopping malls.C. Michelin-starred restaurants are suitable for many people.D. It is uncertain when the robot can cook all kinds of food.CA tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? A recent research shows that most people would choose the latter.This type of woman is called a nühanzi (―tough woman‖). Experts believe these characteristics have social and psychological roots among young females in China. Su Hao’s friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finish tough tasks usually carried out by men. For example, she carries 10-litre water to her dormitory on the 5th floor. ―I depend on no one but myself,‖ she says.According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women have become rather common in society. Of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent said they are familiar with a tough woman. About 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the opposite view.Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a psychological consultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to this trend. ―Women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,‖ Shen says. ―In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.‖ Liu Xiaol in, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believes tough women are brought up this way. They are often on close relationship with their fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,‖ he says. As a result, these women are mor e likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress, according to Liu.Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologist at the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Center, says the popularity of tough woman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead to relationship problems. ―Some women with characteristics that differ from the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,‖ he says. ―Even if they get married, their manly characteristics might cause family conflicts.8. Which of the followings doesn’t belong to the characteristics of a tough woman?A. She is independent of others in daily life.B. She is soft and tender to others.C. She is more tolerant to stress.D. She can solve problems usually for men.9. How many respondents like tough women?A. about 10,600.B. about 16,700.C. 21,265.D. about 6,20010. Why are there more tough women nowadays?A. Because tough women are more lovely.B. Because more women want to be independent.C. Because girls often love fathers more.D. Because of the fierce competition in society.11. What problems may tough women have in their life?A. It’s difficult for them to be friends.B. They often suffer gender confusion.C. They may have difficulty with marriage.D. They have different characteristics form traditional female images.DOur ―Mommy and Me‖ time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. ―I wish I could take one of my children out alone,‖ said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. An d when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of ―Mommy and Me‖ time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children asked her tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. ―She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,‖ Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The ―Mommy and Me‖ t ime allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while.12. What is the text mainly about?A. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time. B. The experience of the only child being with mother.C. The happy life of two families.D. The basic needs of children.13. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.A. happyB. friendlyC. regretfulD. curious14. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?A. The daughter acts like a leader.B. Sam holds her hand more often.C. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.D. The boys become better followers.15. The author seems to believe that ___________.A. having brothers and sisters is funB. every child needs parents’ full attentionC. it’s tiring to look after three childrenD. parents should watch others’ children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。
