高考题型提能练十六 Unit 16 StoriesⅠ.阅读理解A(2016·江西省上饶市模拟)Cotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying Coca Cola and Pepsi, believing that the sugar in the fizzy (有泡沫的) drinks kills pests.Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests, and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicals — although soft drink makers and scientists dismissed the remarks. N. Hamunayya, who has become a famous person in his village in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh, said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides. “We found that all the colas had uniform effect on pests. The pests became dead and fell to the ground，” he said. He said the drinks had all the elements they needed: they were cheaper, sticky, fizzy, and attracted ants, which ate the young of the pests. But Thinupathi Reddy, assistant director of the Regional Agri Research Station, Guntur, says tests had proved such results wrong. “We conducted some field trials on cotton crop at our research station. There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests，” he says.Statements from Pepsi and Coca Cola said there was “no scientific basis” for this_practice. But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales. Mantan Wall, who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region, said sales rose up, thanks to the farmers. “For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business. Instead of just 30 cases (each containing a dozen one litre bottles) of cola, I started selling almost 200 cases，” he said. “We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues (残留) in the cola drinks. Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers，” he said.In February, an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by Coca Cola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards. The US firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhibased Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.1.Some Indian farmers think the drinks can kill pests because ________.A.there is some pesticide left in themB.they are sticky and fizzyC.they have elements that kill pestsD.they made the pesticide more effective2.The underlined part “this practice” in Para. 3 probably refers t o “________”.A.testing the mixtureB.selling more drinks in IndiaC.mixing the drinks with the pesticideD.attracting ants to eat the young pests3.The drink makers would not accept the fact that their drinks could kill pests because they ________.A.thought it went against scienceB.believed that the farmers didn't tell the truthC.might fear that it could bring harm to their businessD.insisted that no poison was left in their products4.The writer's purpose of writing this passage is to________.A.tell an interesting incidentB.warn people that some drinks might be dangerous to healthC.suggest using Coca Cola to kill pestsD.announce a new discovery of Coca ColaB(2016·贵阳市适应性检测考试)Choose your wish listIt's normal for any student's college wish list to change through out high school. But when it comes time to apply, many seniors have a hard time narrowing down their choices.There's no hard and fast answer, but there are several things you can do and ask yourself to make the decision easier. Here are three pieces of advice that might help.Do your researchAbove all, it's i mportant to figure out your wants and needs. What do you expect from your education? What are you willing to give up?Veronica Hauad, senior associate director of admissions (录取) at the University of Chicago in the US, said students should start by taking time to figure_out those questions.“Find the thing that's most important to you, and then you can start searching on that factor and sort things out later，” Hauad said.Don't focus on rankingsIt's easy to focus too hard on school rankings, but don't let that make your decision for you when you're looking at colleges. In the long run, rankings probably won't have a big effect on your education. It's OK to look at rankings, but don't obsess (过于执着) over them. Find colleges that really interest you. If they end up being on a top list, think of it as an extra pleasure.Think about your futureHere's an important question to ask all of the colleges on your list: How many of your students find jobs after graduation? A n Ivy League school may look good on an application, but what will the college do to help you find a job?Students should also make sure they're going to college for the right reasons.University of Illinois sophomore (二年级学生) Steve Wang said he has met students who aren't looking at the bigger picture. “I see a lot of students who go to college for the sake of the college experience —not for a higher education，” Wang explained. “So people show up and spend a lot of time at parties and not really paying attention to schoolwork. That's not really what college is for.”5.When you apply to a college, you should ________.A.find out what you really wantB.choose the bestknown collegeC.consider the things you can doD.quit a chance for further study6.What does the underlined part “figure out” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Let out.B.Look out.C.Make out.D.Check out.7.Steve Wang spends his main time on ________.A.parttime jobsB.schoolworkC.partiesD.college experiences8.What is the passage mainly for?A.Researchers.cators.C.Applicants.D.Sophomores.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2016·河北省唐山市统一考试)You may have grown up living wit h sisters and brothers, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else. 1.________ However, it can also be a great part of your college experience. Follow these tips to make sure you and your roommate keep things pleasant and supportive throughout the year.Be clear from the beginning.Maybe you hate it when someone interrupts you when you are sleeping every morning. Maybe you need ten minutes before talking to anyone after you wake up. 2.________ It's not fair to expect him or her to pick up on them right away, and communicating what you need is one of the best ways to get rid of problems before they become problems.3.________This may seem simple, but it's probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflicts. Don't you think he'll mind if you borrow his shoes for a quick soccer game? For all you know, you just step over an uncrossable line. Don't borrow, use, or take anything without getting permission first.Be open to change.You should expect to learn, grow and change during your time at school. 4.________ As the term progresses, realize things will change for both of you. Be comfortable to address things that unexpectedly come up, set new rules, and be flexible to your changing environment.Follow the golden rule.5.________ No matter what your relationship is at the end of the year, you can take comfort in knowing you act like an adult and treat your roommate with respect.A.Respect your roommate's things.B.Let your roommate know about your preferences.C.Treat your roommate like you'd like to be treated.D.Living with a roommate is really a wonderful thing.E.Having a roommate surely has its challenges.F.You should correct your bad habits first.G.And the same should happen to your roommate, if all goes well.Ⅲ.完形填空(2016·洛阳高考模拟)Eightyearold Owen Hawkins suffers from growth delay and poor eyesight.

One main reason lies at students' bad habits. Too much homework is given by school teachers is another main cause. Some students are absentminded while doing their homework, and some wasting their afterclass time. The third cause is that some students have to get up earlier on weekday to get to school that was far away from home. Experts think an amount of homework for the students should be cut down. Beside, teachers should encourage their students make good use of their spare time. Only in this way can the students improve our study efficiency.高考题型提能练(十六)Ⅰ.1．解析：选D 推理判断题。

I stared down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands.I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people. They were not just my mum and dad, who would say, “Good job!” even if I messed up the entire piece.What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight (聚光灯) was waiting for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played. I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump (隆起部分) in my throat and sat down. Slowly, I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory (象牙色的) keys.As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my years of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if requested.Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically.My eyes burned holes into (were fixed on) the pages in front of me.There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this to myself,I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music.When I came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head: DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!Needless to say, I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind. And, proud of my “page-turning” feat (技艺), I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake.After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head.I had finished. I had mastered the impossible.36. The author was nervous before the performance because _______.A. her mother and father weren’t presentB. the strong spotlight was shining onto the stageC. she hadn’t mastered the entire pieceD. she had never performed in public before37. The underlined phrase “mess up” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A. put into disorderB. forget aboutC. stop halfwayD. do well in38. The author _________.A. didn’t make any mistake in the performanceB. felt better at the beginning of the performanceC. paid all attention to nothing but her performanceD. lost her concentration sometimes during the performance39. What did the author feel about her performance?A. She thought it was comfortable and successful.B. She thought it was very difficult but successful.C. She thought she had never made a mistake during the performance.D. She thought she played through the piece carefully but light-heartedly.BWeather is the subject matter of Westerners whenever they meet. Housewives, businessmen, factory workers as well as farmers all talk about the weather. It is everyday news, whether or not conditions change. Many newspapers carry a regular front page news story in addition to the full reports on as inside-page provided by the weather service. Here are several different types of weather reports taken from the western papers.No.1 Regional ForecastNew JerseyToday. Considerably cloudy with showers likely. High: 75-79. Southwesterly winds at 15 to 20 m.p.h.. Precipitation(降水) probability 70 percent. Tonight: Warm and cloudy, rain likely. Low. 55－63. Southwesterly winds at 15 to 20 m.p.h.. Tomorrow: showers and thunderstorms likely. High: 75－79. Wind S to SW at 15 to 20 m.p.h..No.2 Three－Day ForecastWestchester, RocklandFriday: Mostly fine to partly cloudySaturday: Cloud with some showers.Sunday: Mostly fine.Temperatures: Daytime highs will average in the upper 60’s to 70’s while overnight lows will average in the low to mid 50’s throughout the period.No.3 Weather StoriesBitter cold, intensified by high winds, gripped(控制) the Upper Midwest today, sheets of ice and snow left by the winter’s first major storm on highways throughout the area.At least six deaths were blamed on the storm.Hundreds of schools closed throughout the Upper Midwest yesterday and thousands of travelers waited out the weather at roadside shelters.Temperatures dropped well blew zero early today from the Northern Plains through the Western Great Lakes under clearing skies. A 25-below-zero reading was forecast.Nearly a foot of snow fell on northern sections of Minnesota, Winsconsin and Michigan. And hardest hit were Duluth, Minn and Superior, Wis, where 12 inches were recorded. Winds went up to 50 miles an hour.40. In a street corner of London, two strangers may begin their talk with ____________.A. Hi, how are you?B. What are you doing here? Waiting for someone?C. A nice day, isn’t it?D. Didn’t you listen to the weather report last night?41. The noon temperature of _____________ is nearly 70’s at the weekend.A. Western Great LakesB. Duluth, MinnC. Westchester, RocklandD. New Jersey42. It seems that ___________ has plenty of rain at the present season.A. Western Great LakesB. WinsconsinC. Westchester, RocklandD. New Jersey43. Which of the following is most probable according to No.3?A. The traffic was terrible affected.B. The Five Great Lakes were covered by heavy snow.C. The temperatures might drop to 50℃.D. Many schools were damaged in the snow storms.CExchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s stare without being friendly, rude, or aggressive. If you are on a lift, what stare-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no harm. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contacts——-what sociologist Erving Goffiman calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at astranger on a lift, you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contacts for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They stare at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals, “I know you”, “I am interested in you”or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you”. This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.44. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________.A. every glance has its significanceB. a glance carries more meaning than wordsC. a stare longer than 3 seconds is unacceptableD. staring at a person is an expression of interest45. If you want to be left alone on a lift, the best thing to do is _____.A. to look into another passenger’s eyesB. to keep a distance from other passengersC. to avoid eye contacts with other passengersD. to signal you don’t mean to do harm to anyone46. By “a dimming of the lights”, Erving Goffiman means ________.A. closing one’s eyesB. turning off the lightsC. stopping glancing at othersD. reducing stare-time to the minimum47. The passage mainly discusses ________.A. the limitations of eye contactsB. the exchange of ideas through eye contactsC. proper behavior in different situations in people’s daily lifeD. the role of eye contacts in communication between peopleDIf life seems more rushed than ever, you might be surprised to learn that we Americans don’t have less leisure time than we did 40 years ago. We actually have more leisure time, and quite a bit more. What counts as leisure is up for argument, but under every definition the numbers have gone up. We get about 45 minutes a day of extra leisure.Then why does it feel like we have so much less? It might be because we waste half of all our leisure time watching television. The average American adult devotes 2.5 hours a day to this hobby. And for every additional hour we get free, another 30 minutes goes into that boob tube（=TV）. So if you want more free time, I recommend one thing: turn it off. This is easier said than done, especially during the world series.When I was growing up, my mom had one piece of advice for me, and she said it every single morning. ‘Get out of the house!’ It’s good advice. Come join the 6.8 million who are in a book club, or the 196,000 who attend pro beach volleyball, or the 680,000 who go to tractor pulls every month. There are even 3 million people who enjoy a sport called ‘muzzle loading,’ whi ch involves shooting a gun that looks200 years old.And at the end of the day, there’s a thing in your kitchen called a stove. Turn it on and invite people over. Only 38% of Americans entertain friends or family at home at least once a year. What were the other 62% of us doing? Getting a free meal, I suppose. We can do better, America. If we’re going to watch so much television, can’t we at least invite friends over to watch?48. The main idea of the passage is _______.A. to teach readers how to increase leisure timeB. to persuade readers to watch TV with othersC. to introduce different social activities to readersD. to recommend various ways of spending leisure time49. According to the passage, how many social activities does the author come up with?A. 3B. 4C. 5D. 650. We can infer form the passage that _______.A. Americans have less leisure time than they did 40 years agoB. Americans tend to spend part of their time watching TVC. American mothers dislike their children staying at homeD. Americans treat their family or friends frequently51. The writer’s attitude towards solving the problem is _______.A. positiveB. negativeC. puzzledD. toughEIn a survey released on Thursday, more than 7,000 Beijing residents assessed the capital as average in terms of living conditions. Most agreed that it is convenient to live in Beijing as far as the facilities for shopping, leisure time activities, education and medical care are concerned. But they do not agree that life is comfortable here.Such a survey sends a message that how a city functions to provide its citizens with suitable living conditions is a concern for many urbanites（都市人） although it will take some time before this concern finds a place on the agenda（议程）of city planners and administrators.In the past more than two decades, economic development has always been considered as the top priority for most cities. The focus on economic growth has left almost no room on the agenda of urban planners and administrators for attention to suitable living conditions for their urban residents.Economic development is undoubtedly the important foundation for improving living conditions, and has improved living standards considerably for most urban residents in the past two decades. But when it is made the ultimate goal of our life, and people are forced to give up their living comforts for the realization of a certain growth rate, the quality of urban life can be negatively affected.There are instances of development just for the sake of being considered development. Witness the destroy of buildings still in sound quality to make room for new structures, repeated change of bricks on pavements and the re- paving of roads. These economic activities lead to noise and environmental pollution andtraffic jams. They worsen living conditions and even make it impossible for residents in many cities to lead a normal life.To a certain extent, some part of a city’s economic growth is achievable only at the expense of the living environment for urbanites.It is high time the city authorities gave a thought to the relationship between economic growth and living conditions in the cities. Beijing, for example, as a capital city, may put more efforts into developing its service sector, tourism and culture industry, which is not likely to cause pollution. Precaution needs to be employed in the considerations for city renovations and construction projects, which tend to affect the life of residents negatively.If the concern for making life easier and more comfortable is always on the minds of the city authorities and on their working agenda, economic development can be realized with suitable living standards.52. The function of using the survey is ________.A. to introduce the serious living condition in BeijingB. to attract readers attention on living conditionsC. to show what city planners should do about the agendaD. to prove contradiction between development and life53. The passage suggests that ________.A. most people in Beijing are living an uncomfortable life here nowB. economic development is undoubtedly the most important to the citiesC. living conditions need taking into account when we develop the economyD. economic development must have some bad effects on our life54. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refers to ________.A. economic activitiesB. traffic jamsC. the destructions of buildingsD. repeated changes of bricks55. The best title of this passage can be _________.A. Keep Our Cities ComfortableB. Make Cities More LivableC. Slow Down Economic DevelopmentD. Stop Polluting City Life四、写作（共两节）第一节短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.In 1934 the scientists William Beebe dived 3,000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 August Piccard dived 10,330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35,800 feet.All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below the surface. Gradually they succeeded. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.Now scientists are developing even better equipment. With this new equipment, man can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then in 1964 he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea. This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.Many countries are now studying undersea living. The former Soviet Union had an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plants for the uses off its resources. Scientists hope to find enough mineral, vegetable, and animal wealth there to provide food for the entire world.根据短文内容选择正确答案45.

ASam, a dog, was left behind in Colorado while his owners, Mr. and Mrs. Green moved to Southern California. They did not give the dog up. They found him a very nice home before they moved. They would have let Sam accompany them, but they were afraid the dog’s presence would make it difficult for them to rent a house when they reached their destination.The Green family lived in Colorado for less than a year, before that, they had lived in the same neighborhood in California to which they returned. So Sam had been there before, but only for a short time when he was young.Several months after the Greens left Colorado, after they were comfortably settled back in California, they heard a scratch at the door. They couldn’t imagine who might be there. It never occurred to them that it might be Sam, because they were sure he was happily set up with his new family back in Colorado.When they opened the door, the Greens saw a dirty, tired dog, with very hurting feet. The animal looked a little bit like Sam, but no one could believe that Sam could have walked 840 miles on his own. The tired dog spent the night under the family car. The next day, when he was more rested, he performed some of his old tricks. The Greens knew they had their own dog back.1.

PST, Associated PressThe respiratory virus known as SARS has appeared to spread in the United States only to family members of health workers with close contact to a sick person.On Thursday, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there might be a case of severe acute respiratory syndrome spreading through the workplace.Dr. Julie Gerberding said a suspected SARS virus patient who became ill after traveling to Asia might have infected a co-worker in Florida, which made her “very worried”.So far, a dozen people—nine family members and three health workers—were infected after coming into close contact with the person with SARS. The rest of the 166 suspected American cases have something to do with people who were infected while traveling in Asia.In the Gainesville, Fla. area, a 47-year-old woman was believed to have been infected at work by a 60-year-old woman who was the nation’s first suspected SARS case, said Tom Belcuore, director of the Alachua County health department.Since the World Health Organization announced a worldwide warning last month about SARS, the United States has started infection control in hospitals and among families of suspected cases.Florida officials said a school in Okaloosa County went through a cleaning after a 6-year-old boy suspected of having SARS appeared at school with slight symptoms. “Health officials are watching the boys’contacts at school to make sure no one else is infected,”said Rob Hayes, health department spokesman, “The boy may have been infected from a family member,” Hayes said, “We immediately became aware of it and had the child sent home. He’s staying at home with his family until 10 days after symptoms disappear.”The researchers guessed that the virus might have come from animals. However, the scientists have not ruled out the possibility that some other microbe might also help make SARS more serious or easier to catch.5. The best title for this text is _______.A. A Worldwide WarningB. Possible Spread of SARS in the USAC. What Is SARSD. Suspected SARS Cases6. The writer wrote this text mainly to _______.A. discuss the danger of SARSB. report research result about SARSC. inform people of the spread of SARSD. explain to the readers what SARS is7. The underlined phrase “rule out” has the closest meaning to _______.A. make rulesB. have control ofC. suggestD. think something not possible8.

宜宾县一中2016级高二上期英语小练习（十六）出题人：邓洋林审题人:英语备课组班级：__________ 姓名：__________ 得分：___________ 1.阅读理解.（每题2分，共18分）AComputers have beaten human world champions at chess and, earlier this year, the board game Go. So far, though, they have struggled at the card table. So we challenged one AI to a game.Why is poker(扑克) so difficult? Chess and Go are “information complete” games where all players can see all the relevant information. In poker, other players’ cards are hidden, making it an “information incomplete” game. Players have to guess opponents’ hands from their actions—tricky for computers. Poker has become a new benchmark for AI research. Solving poker could lead to many breakthroughs, from cyber security to driverless cars.Scientists believe it is only a matter of time before AI once again vanquishes humans, hence our human-machine match comes up in a game of Texas Hold’s Em Limit Poker. The AI was developed by Johannes Heinrich, researcher studying machine learning at UCL. It combines two techniques: neural(神经的) networks and reinforcement learning(强化学习).Neural networks, to some degree, copy the structure of human brains: their processors are highly interconnected and work at the same time to solve problems. They are good at spotting patterns in huge amounts of data. Reinforcement learning is when a machine, given a task, carries it out, learning from mistakes it makes. In this case, it means playing poker against itself billions of times to get better.Mr. Heinrich told Sky News: “Today we are presenting a ne w procedure that has learned in a different way, more similar to how humans learn. In particular, it is able to learn abstract patterns, represented by its neural network, which allow it to deal with new and unseen situations.”After two hours of quite defensive play, from the computer at least, we called it a draw.1．Why can’t the computer beat humans at the poker game?A. Because humans are cleverer than the computer.B. Because humans practice playing the poker game every day.C. Because the computer can’t learn the regular rules of the poker game.D. Because the computer can’t know the other players’ cards completely.2．What does the underlined word “vanquishes” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Leaves.B. Defeats.C. Cheats.D. Serves.3. What do we know about the reinforcement learning of AI?A. It solves problems correctly every time.B. It is the same as the learning of humans.C. It learns from the mistakes appearing in a task.D. It is more developed than the studying ways of humans.4. What can be inferred from the text?A. The new procedure of AI has some features of humans.B. Computers are stronger than humans in every aspect.C. Humans will beat computers at playing poker forever.D. Scientists feel unhappy about the result of the poker game.BThe first time I went abroad was when I went to London. It was in the summer holidays about five or six years ago and I went with my friends. 5, so we decided to travel by coach. We left at five in the morning and the journey to London took about sixteen hours.We stayed in London for three days, in a youth hotel not far from the centre. 6.

It was really sunny in the afternoon, so we went to watch a football game. Unfortunately, I think the ring fell out of my pocket during the game, and I had to buy another one.9 , al though the youth hotel was not perfect. Next time, I will stay at the Ritz but I will never feel as excited as I did that first time.A. I really enjoyed visiting LondonB. I bought a silver ring for my sisterC.
