2016高三英语模拟卷新课标全国卷
2016高三英语模拟卷（一）第二部分阅读理解(共20题，每题2分，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。
AWhile income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症).In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.21. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _______.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children22. If young people go abroad, _________.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right23. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”BWhen people were building houses, they used to consider not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜).During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source ofheat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.24. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A.The climate of their areas.B.The energy for their houses.C.The fashions for their houses.D.The building materials for their houses.25. People in some areas gain a source of heat by ________.A.keeping their livestock downstairsB.protecting their livestock from the coldC.sharing their houses only with their cowsD.living on the second floor with their livestock26. The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.A.heat raises the temperature in the housesB.heat goes in the upward directionC.heat goes up if temperature is raisedD.heat increases the temperature of rocks27. From the passage, we can conclude that ________.A.people will no longer consider building materials in the futureB.almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksC.energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the futureD.energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technologyCPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.A VOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAY AW AY FROM THE STA TION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don’t be too choosy about th e part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city center buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with rooms for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmers that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transportor car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmers are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).28. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________.A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plansD. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation29. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat ________.A. lies on the ground floorB. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for touristsD. costs over £100 on average per day in late September30. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________.A. half an hourB. one hourC. one hour and a halfD. two hours31. The main purpose of the passage is _______.A. to tell visitors how to book in advanceB. to supply visitors with hotel informationC. to show visitors the importance of self-helpD. to offer visitors some money-saving tipsDArt is considered by many people to be no more than a decorative means of giving pleasure. This is not always the case, however, at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose.According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or a physical illness has in some way disturbed or get in touch with the supernatural--perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or the dead. To break away f rom this, the ill person or one of his relatives will employ a medical man called a “singer” to perform a curing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the “singer” will produce a sa ndpainting on the floor. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sandpainting and the “singer” will rub the sick or injured parts of the patient’s body with sand from a specific figure in the sandpainting. In this way the patient absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong. After the ceremony, the sandpainting is destroyed so its power won’t harm anyone.The art of sandpainting is handed down from old “singers”. The materials used are easily found where the Navaho settle: brown, red, yellow, and white sandstone, which is ground(研磨) much as corn is made into flour. The “singer” holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his fingers onto a clean, flat surface on the floor, with a steady hand and great patience. He is thus able to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system. The traditional Navaho doesn’t allow copying sandpaintings, since he believes the supernatural po wers that taught him the craft have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft.32. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Navaho IndianB. The Ancient “Singer”C. Functions of ArtD. The Navaho Sandpaintings33. How did the “singer” treat the patient according to the passage?A. By passing his supernatural power on to the patient.B. By applying a magic substance to the patient’s body.C. By rubbing the patient’s sick parts with sand from a sandpainting figure.D. By destroying the sandpainting figure.34. The traditional Navaho does not allow copying of sandpaintings because _______.A. anything copied has no effectB. the craft only belongs to the supernaturalC. it’s against Navaho belief systemD. the copying may do harm to other Navahos35. That the reproductions of sandpaintings are now commercially available shows ________.A. people have realized the artistic value of sandpaintingsB. patients have benefited from the powerful effect of sandpaintingsC. more people have come to believe in supernatural powerD. modern technology has helped the production of sandpaintings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。

Sherrard had passion for carpentry(木工) and showed promise at a very young age. “I first got interested in wood -making when I was in Grade 10,”he says. “I had taken wood shop before but it never became a hobby of mine until my school started to get hard wood into the shop classes.”“I real ized how much fun woodworking was and took all the wood-shop classes I could and started spending time in the shop after school,”he says. “I got a summer job working with my uncle and used most of the money I made to buy woodworking tools and quickly turn ed my dad’s little shop into my own woodworking shop.” His skills and knowledge were sharpened and tested in the woodworking program.All this went a long way in preparing him for full-time employment and taught him what to expect when he started working.“The biggest challenge to secure a good job with my training and skill set would be to keep up with all the different products and new designs,” he says. “I have only been in the industry for a few years but even my boss , who has been doing this for many years, is still learning new things all the time.”Sherrard’s passion for his skill has brought him this far but his thirst for learning keepspushing him further.

You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human ( and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate (切断) them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will also call the police if the sensors should detect an intruder (不速之客). This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card — the one you use for shopping — maybe using a number known only to you.It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just wat ching…66. The author intends to tell us that ________.A. in 2040 we will live without the lights and heatersB. in 2040 we will use much more lights and heatersC. in 2040 lights and heaters will be on and off automaticallyD. in 2040 there will be no switches of lights and heaters67. Which of the following statement is NOT true?A. You can be taken for an intruder if you tamper with the lock or with a window.B. The sensor will detect fire and make an emergency call.C. Without a computer, the sensor can not do much.D. The sensor is multi-functional.68. According to the author, in 2040, new technology _______ .A. will turn everything into sensorsB. will free us from the keys we use todayC. will make the lock out of dateD. will remove all crimes69. Thanks to computers, in 2040 people ________.A. will have no entertainment outsideB. will replace TV with computersC. will be controlled by computersD. will have more fun at home70. The best title for the passage might be ________.A. Life at Home in the Year 2040B. Sensors and ComputersC. The Development of Science and TechnologyD. Lights and Heaters in the Year 2040Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.

ABefore leaving work, Steve Lee likes to use his cell phone to turn on his heat and air conditioner system at home.So by the time he gets through traffic into his front door, the temperature inside is perfect.You may wonder what a so-called smart home can do inside.Lee works for a company called Smart , testing and living with many of his company's home automation gadgets(自动化小配件), like this multifunction touch screen that controls devices around the house and even connects to the Internet traffic cameras.“I have cameras, and they follow all the way down the freeway to work, ”said Lee with pride, “What's going on at home when you are away? No problem, install some wireless cameras and controllers and from any computer in the world with an Internet connection, you can watch your house.”“You can check on the house, and I can look at the temperature.Believe it or not, if I want to turn on lights ahead of time, I can, ”added Lee.We sat in Steve's California kitchen and with the right password,_turned on the kitchen counter lights at his boss' house in Wisconsin.Steve did have permission to log on(登录)．“If you do know the password and you want to play a trick on your wife, you could turn lights on and off remotely.”This new technology, which can automatically turn on water sprinklers when humidity is low, or turn off a pool pump when it is not in use, is no longer expensive.Several hundred dollars for a basic system is enough and it is not hard to install.Sure the convenience is nice but many people who like the security advantages like making sure kids are safe with the help of camera monitors and bedside alerts.“I can notice that maybe one of my children wakes up in the middle of the night once the light switch is turned on.”What a smart home can't do is get you a snack and you have to leave the couch for that.21．What does the underlined word “password” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Security code. B．Crossword.C．Passport. D．Touch screen.22．What can be inferred from this passage?A．Steve's boss trusted him very much.B．Steve doesn't like to play jokes on his family.C．Steve could log on his boss' home because he had been given the key.D．It's expensive and difficult to apply a basic smart home system.23．According to the passage, the following is often a must for a smart home EXCEPT a________.A．cell phone B．computerC．camera D．car24．In which section of a newspaper will this passage probably be found?A．Entertainment. B．Science & Technology.C．Health & Care. D．Biography.BSince the first Earth Day in 1970，Americans have gotten a lot “greener”toward the environment.“We didn't know at that time that there even was an environment，let alone that there was a problem with it，”says Bruce Anderson，president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people，political leaders，university professors，and especially millions of grass roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many，many times，”says Gaylord Nelson，the former governor from Wisconsin，who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports，emissions(排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with，the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of “gree n thinking ” has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs；today in 1995 there are about 6，600.Advanced lights，motors，and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twentyfive years ago，there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today，it's hard to find a public school，university，or law school that does not have such a kind of program.“Until we do that，nothing else will change！” says Bruce Anderson.25．According to Anderson，before 1970，Americans had little idea about________．A．the social movement B．recycling techniquesC．environmental problems D．the importance of Earth Day26．Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A．The grassroots level. B．The business circle.C．Government officials. D．University professors.27．What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A．They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B．They have settled their environmental problems.C．They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D．They have reduced pollution through effective measures.28．What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A．Education. B．Planning.C．Green living. D．CO reduction.COne of the latest trends(趋势) in American childcare is Chinese au pairs.Au Pair in Stamford，Conn，for example，has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4，000 since 2004.And that's true all across the country.“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age，”Joseph Stocke，the managing director of a company，says of his 2yearold son.“I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.”After only six months of being cared for by a 25yearold woman from China，the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions，his dad says.Li Drake，a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband，had another reason for looking for an au pair from China：She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots.“Because I am Chinese，my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触)the language and culture.” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，”says Suzanne Flynn，a professor in lang uage education of Children.“But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce plete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese.It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.29．What does that term “au pair”in the text mean?A．A mother raising her children on her own.B．A child learning a foreign language at home.C．A professor in language education of children.D．A young foreign woman taking care of children.30．Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them________．A．to live in China some day B．to speak the language at homeC．to catch up with other children D．to learn about the Chinese culture31．What can we infer from the text?A．Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.B．Educated women do better in looking after children.C．Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.D．Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.DNEW YORK－Australian mining enterprise Clive Palmer on Tuesday unveiled(公布)blueprints for TitanicⅡ， a modern copy of the doomed ocean liner, although he didn't call the ship unsinkable any more.The ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of the fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line with current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addition of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, Palmer said at a press conference in New York.The three passenger classes, however, will be prevented from mingling(混杂), as in 1912, Palmer said.“I'm not too superstitious(迷信的)．”Palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship best-known for sinking was tempting fate.White Star Line, the operator of the original ship, had said the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable.About 1, 500 people died on Titanic's maiden voyage in 1912 from Southampton to New York after the ship collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic.Palmer, who created the company Blue Star Line last year, refused to make a similar boast.“Anything will sink if you put a hole in it, ”Palmer said.“I think it would be very cavalier to say it.”Unlike the original, TitanicⅡwill have more than enough space in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have additional escape staircases.Markku Kanerva, sales director at Deltamarin, the Finnish company designing the ship, said it would be the “safest cruise ship in the world”．Palmer refused to answer questions about the project's cost.Although the Titanic was the world's largest ship in her time, she would be smaller than many of today's modern cruise ships.“It's not about the money，”Palmer said.“I've got enough money for it.I think that's all that matters.”Forbes estimated Palmer's net worth to be $795 million in 2012.He describes himself as a billionaire.TitanicⅡwill be built by Chinese stateowned CSC Jinling Shipyard, which has already built four ore carriers for Palmer's mining business, he said.The contract to build TitanicⅡhas not yet been signed, Palmer said.32．What can be inferred about TitanicⅡfrom the passage?A．TitanicⅡwill have more space in its lifeboats than the Titanic.B．TitanicⅡwill be the largest cruise ship in the world.C．TitanicⅡwill allow different classes of passengers to mingle.D．TitanicⅡwill be a real unsinkable cruise ship.33．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．1，500 people died on Titanic's maiden voyage in 1912.B．The Titanic collided with an iceberg in the South Pacific.C．The Titanic was equipped with air conditioning.D．The Titanic was the world's largest ship at that time.34．What's the author's purpose of writing the passage?A．To tell us the story of the Titanic. B．To tell us TitanicⅡwill cost a lot of money.C．To tell us about the future Titanic. D．To tell us a Chinese Shipyard will build TitanicⅡ.35．What's the best title of the passage?A．The Old Titanic B．The Blueprints of TitanicⅡC．The Unsinkable TitanicⅡD．Clive Palmer－A Billionaire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。
2016年高考英语全国模拟卷
高考英语模拟题第I卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题;每小题3分，满分45分）ATo avoid becoming the lead story on the evening news, be prepared. Before you head out on a hike, check the weather, take plenty of water, and make sure someone knows where you’ll be and when you’ll be back. Bring clothes to keep you warm when wet. Avoid cotton, which is easy to take in moisture(潮气).“To avoid getting lost, check often to make sure you’re still on the trail(路线),” says John Dill, a search-and-rescue worker at Yosemite National Park in California. “The minute you think you might not be on the trail, stop.” If you’re not alone, focusing on the needs of others can help you get rid of your own fears. Other keys to survival: staying observant and remembering to rest. The surest way to get out alive is to take basic precautions(预防措施), such as taking a set of survival equipment. It includes waterproof matches for starting a fire, a folding knife for cutting branches, and a plastic tarp(防水布) for making shelter.Generally, people who try to find their own way out get along worse than those who stay, says Richard N. Bradley, MD, of the American Red Cross. Find shelter before dark, and try to keep dry. Stay visible so that anyone searching can see you. In a wide-open area, make a signal with colorful tools, make a big X out of rocks, or dig a long shallow hole.You can go several days without eating, so in most cases, you’d better not search for food, since there are lots of poisonous plants in the wild, says Dr Bradley. You cannot survive without water, so if you run out of water, it’s usually better to drink from a stream with suspect water than to go without. 21. By saying “becoming the lead story on the evening news” in Para. 1, the author really means ______.A. you will be interviewed by the journalistB. you will become famous for your survival in a forestC. the news that you are lost will spread around quicklyD. your experience in the wild will be reported in the evening news22. According to the writer, how can you avoid getting lost when you are alone?A. Make sure you don’t leave the trail.B. Remember not to stop onthe trail.C. Try to look for others’ help.D. Overcome the fear of getting lost.23. According to the passage, you may get into trouble if you ______.A. try to find food to fill your stomach in the wildB. stay in the shelter before darkC. remain where you get lost and wait for helpD. drink water from the stream24. Why does the author suggest digging a long shallow hole in a wide-open area when you get lost?A. To find some water to drink.B. To store some food you’ve brought along.C. To attract the rescuer’s attention.D. To use it as a shelter.BMany New Zealand children are being studied for sleep disorders(紊乱) after overloading on technology before bedtime. Specialists say computers and televisions disturb sleep patterns and cause learning, concentration and growth problems.Dr Alex Bartle, director of the Sleep Well Clinic, said that different sorts of technology were keeping children awake. Computer games and social networking sites such as Bebo and Facebook were worse than TV for exciting young minds because they were more interactive(互动的). They should be switched off at least an hour before bedtime. “To fall asleep, you need to have a certain amount of calmness in the brain,” said Bartle. “being excited doesn’t help those brainwaves settle.”Professor Philippe Gander, director of Massey University’s Sleep / Wake Research Centre, said poor sleep had been linked to learning, behavioral and growth problems.Bartle said parents should make sure that children were well-rested and not kept awake by the technology surrounding them. “They need to encourage kids to get out during the day. Watching TV or playing on computers as soon as they get home isn’t good from a sleep point of view. Parents need to be strong enough to remove TVs or computers.”In Britain, National Health Service data show almost 3,000 under-11s werereferred to specialists for problems such as sleeplessness and sleep-walking(梦游) in 2007, up 26 percent from 2002.While there are no figures in New Zealand, experts have no doubt that the number of children in need of help is on the increase. “We have the same sorts of technology, the same lifestyles,” said Bartle.The Child Health Research Foundation in New Zealand has funded(资助) studies on sleep problems and is waiting for the results.25. What does “technology”mainly refer to according to the passage?A. pianos and guitarsB. televisions and computersC. learning machinesD.MP3s and MP4s26. According to Dr Alex Bartle’s opinion, we can learn that ______.A. Children should not watch TV or play online games in the eveningB. Watching TV does more harm to children than playing computer gamesC. Some parents fail to set a limit on the time their children spend on technologyD. About 3,000 New Zealand under-11s have sleep problems in 200727. Experts are sure that the number of New Zealand children with sleep problems is increasing because _____.A. New Zealand children play more online games than British childrenB. They have exact data from National Health ServiceC. New Zealand children are in the same situation as the British childrenD. They have exact data provided by hospitals28. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Children like computer games.B. Technology disturbs children’s sleep.C. The ways of dealing with sleep disorders.D. New Zealand parents should prevent children from watching TV.CTo “sacrifice” means to give up something in exchange for something better. My husband and I decided to make a sacrifice and exchange city life and move to a seaside village with our children aged 9 and 3 years. We had a beautiful home in the city and plenty of money but little real safety because crime was on the increase every day. We never knew if we would all make it safely home at night. I hoped my children would be brought up in a peaceful and friendly environment.We were very happy in our new town, but life was very difficult economically. Income was based on the tourist seasons and jobs were few. Although many of the long- standing residents(居民) were well off in the town, it was a very competitive environment for newcomers. We had to adapt to the difficult new life over the past four years.Reading the newspapers from the big cities made us better believe that we had made the right choice. But it was not always easy to explain to the children why they could no longer have what they used to have.However, our little daughter proved to me she had the ability to think about problems in a reasonable way. The son of a visiting friend preferred riding in the back of our old little truck to his father’s big car.Our little daughter called me and said, “Mom, please help me to explain to James that he is wrong. He says that ‘Today, if you don’t have money you are nothing.’ I know that is not true. If you do have money you share it with your friends and if you don’t have money and they do, they share it with you. That is what makes us all rich.” It made me realize that the sacrifice was well worth it.29. Why did the family move away from the city?A. They were tired of the city life.B. The city was not safe enough.C. Pollution in the city was serious.D. Life in the city was expensive.30. What was the worst to the author’s family in their new town?A. They couldn’t get used to the weather.B. It was hard for them to get a steady and satisfying income.C. Their neighbors were richer than them.D. They had few friends in the new environment.31. The author realized that their sacrifice was well worth it because _______.A. they had a beautiful home in the seaside villageB. they made a lot of money in the tourist seasonsC. their children could receive good educationD. their children could form a good value concept in the new environmentD.2014 Good Neighbor Dream Vacation PackageStay close to the magic and make your dreams come true.

The nurse learned that his son was a solider in North Carolina.The hospital called the Red Cross offices to find the young man. The young solider was rushed to the airport in time to catch the plane.It was evening when the young solider walked into the hospital. A nurse took him into the bedsides of the old man.“Your son is here,” she said to the man. She had to repeat the words several times before the old man’s eyes opened. He dimly saw the young man and got great comfort. He reached out his hand. The young solider he ld the old man’s hand and offered words of hope.All through the night the young solider sat besides the bed. The nurse offered to watch instead of him for a while.

FoodCMedia Selection for AdvertisementsAfter determining the target audience for a product or service, advertising agencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement. We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising. We focus our attention on seven types of advertising: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, out-of-home. Internet, and direct mail.TelevisionTelevision is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers. When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? you can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand, for example, they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communication.But television is an expensive medium, and not all advertisers can afford to use it.Television's influence on advertising is fourfold. First, narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. The Golf Channel, for instance.is watched by people who play golf. Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects. Thus, audiences are smaller and more homogeneous(具有共同特点的) than they have been in the past. Second, there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers, and thus, advertisers. This has also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed. Third, digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch. Fourth, control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers.Newspaper?After television, the medium attracting the next largest annual ad revenue is newspapers. The New York Times, which reaches a national audience, accounts for $1 billion in ad revenue annually, ii m increased its national circulation (发行量) by 40% and is now available for home delivery in ion ciues. Locally, newspapers are the largest advertising medium.Newspapers are a less expensive advertising medium than television and provide a way for advertisers to communicate a longer. more detailed message to their audience than they can through 48 hours,meaning newspapers are also a quick way of getting the massage out.Newspapers are ofen the most important form of news for a local community, and they develop a high degree of loyalty from local reader.RadioAdvertising on radio continues to grow Radio is often used in conjunction with outdoor bill-boards (广告牌) and ihe Internet to reach even more customers than television. Advertisers are likely to use radio because it is a less expensive medium than television, which means advertisers can afford to repeal their ads often. Internet companies are also turning 10 radio advertising. Radio provides a way for advertisers to communicate with audience members at all times of the day.Consumers listen to radio on their way to school or work, at work, on the way home, and in the evening hours.Two major changes—satellite and Internet radio—will force radio advertisers to adapt their methods. Both of these radio forms allow listeners to tune in stations that are more distant than the local stations they could receive in the past. As a result, radio will increasingly attract target audiences who live many miles apart.MagazinesNewsweeklies, women’s titles, and business magazines have all seen increases in advertising because they attract the high-end market, magazines are popular with advertisers because of the narrow market that they deliver. A broadcast medium such as network television attracts all types of audience members, but magazine audiences are more homogeneous, if you read sportsillustrated, for example, you h ave much in common with the magazine’s other readers. Advertisers see magazines as an efficient way of reaching target audience members.Advertiser using the print media-magazines and newspapers-will need to adapt to two main changes. First, the internet will bring larger audiences to local newspapers, these second. Advertisers will have to understand how to use an increasing number of magazines for their target audiences. Although some magazines will maintain national audiences, a large number of magazines will entertain narrower audiences.Out-of-home advertisingOut-of-home advertising. Also called place-based advertising, has become an increasingly effective way of reaching consumers, who are more active than ever before. Many consumers today do not sit at home and watch television. Using billboards, newsstands, and bus shelters for advertising is an effective way of reaching these on-the-go consumers. More consumers travel longer distances to and from work, which also makes out-of-home advertising effective, technology has changed the nature of the billboard business, making it a more effective medium than in the past.Using digital printing, billboard companies can print a billboard in 2 hours, compared with 6 days previously. This allows advertisers more variety in the types of messages they create because they.Can change their messages more quickly.InternetAs consumers become more comfortable with online shopping, advertisers will seek to reach this market As consumers get more of their news and information from the Internet, the ability of television and radio to get the word out to consumers will decrease. The challenge to Internet advertisers Is to create ads that audience members remember.Internet advertising will play a more prominent role in organizations' advertising in the near ftuture. Internet audiences tend to be quite homogeneous, but small. Advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach these audiences and will have to adapt their persuasive strategies to the online medium as well.Direct mailA final advertising medium is direct mail, which uses mailings to consumers to communicate a client's message Direct mail includes newsletters. postcards and special promotions. Direct mail is an effective way to build relationships with consumers.For many businesses.direct mail is the most effective from of advertising.28. With the increase in the number of TV channels_________.A. the cost of TV advertising has decreasedB. the nuiflber of TV viewers has increasedC. advertisers' interest in other media has decreasedD. the number of TV ads people can see has increasedpared with television, newspapers as an advertising medium_________________.A. earn a larger annual ad revenueB. convey more detailed messagesC. use more production techniquesD. get messages out more effectively30.Advertising on radio continues to grow because ___________.A. more local radio stations have been set upB. modern technology makes it more entertainingC. it provides easy access to consumersD. it has been revolutionized by Internet radio.31.Magazines are seen by advertisers as an efficient way to___________.A. reach target audiencesB. modern technology makes it more entertainingC. appeal to educated people.D. convey all kinds of messagesDUniversities Branch OutAs never before in their long history, universities have become instruments of national competition as well as instruments of peace. They are the place of the scientific discoveries that move economies forward, and the primary means of educating the talent required to obtain and maintain competitive advantage. But at the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow of goods, services, information and especially people has made universities a powerful force for global integration, mutual understanding and geopolitical stability.In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy, universities have become more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent the entire range of cultures and values, sending their own students abroad to prepare them for global careers, offering courses of study that address the challenges of an interconnected world and collaborative (合作的) research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity.Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping than the movement across borders.Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 800 000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in 2004. Most travel from one developed nation to another, but the flow from developing to developed countries is growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from developed to developing countries, is on the rise, too.Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the United States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America's best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the UK. In the United States, 20 percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in China many newly hired faculty members at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad.Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in another country. In Europe, more than 140 000 students participate in the Erasmus program each year, taking courses for credit in one of 2 200 participating institutions across the continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer internships (实习) abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship opportunity—and providing the financial resources to make it possible.Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research centre focused on the genetics of human disease atShanghai's Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai centre has 95 employees and graduate students working in a 4 300-square-meter laboratory facility. Yale faculty, postdoctors and graduate students visit regularly and attend videoconference seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries; Xu's Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs of conducting research in China, and Chinese graduate students, postdoctors and faculty get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist and his US team.As a result of its strength in science, the United States has consistently led the world in the commercialization of major new technologies, from the mainframe computer and the integrated circuit of the 1960s to the Internet infrastructure(基础设施) and applications software of the 1990s. The link between university-based science and industrial application is often indirect but sometimes highly visible: Silicon Valley was intentionally created by Stanford University, and Route 128 outside Boston has long housed companies spun off from MIT and Harvard. Around the world, governments have encouraged copying of this model, perhaps most successfully in Cambridge, England, where Microsoft and scores of other leading software and biotechnology companies have set up shop around the university.For all its success, the United States remains deeply hesitant about sustaining the research-university model. Most politicians recognize the link between investment in science and national economic strength, but support for research funding has been unsteady. The budget of the National Institutes of Health doubled between 1998 and 2003, but has risen more slowly than inflation since then. Support for the physical sciences and engineering barely kept pace with inflation during that same period. The attempt to make up lost ground is welcome, but the nation would be better served by steady, predictable increases in science funding at the rate of long-term GDP growth, which is on the order of inflation plus 3 percent per year.American politicians have great difficulty recognizing that admitting more foreign students can greatly promote the national interest by increasing international understanding. Adjusted for inflation, public funding for international exchanges and foreign-language study is well below the levels of 40 years ago. In the wake of September 11, changes in the visa process caused a dramatic decline in the number of foreign students seeking admission to US universities, and a corresponding surge in enrollments in Australia, Singapore and the UK. Objections from American university and business leaders led to improvements in the process and a reversal of the decline, but the United States is still seen by many as unwelcoming to international students.Most Americans recognize that universities contribute to the nation's well-being through their scientific research, but many fear that foreign students threaten American competitiveness by taking their knowledge and skills back home. They fail to grasp that welcoming foreign students to the United States has two important positive effects: first, the very best of them stay in the States and—like immigrants throughout history—strengthen the nation; and second, foreign students who study in the United States become ambassadors for many of its most cherished (珍视) values when they return home. Or at least they understand them better. In America as elsewhere, few instruments of foreign policy are as effective in promoting peace and stability as welcoming international university students.32. In the United States, how many of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born?A. 10%.B. 20%.C. 30%.D. 38%.33. How do Yale and Harvard prepare their undergraduates for global careers?A. They organize a series of seminars on world economy.B. They offer them various courses in international politics.C. They arrange for them to participate in the Erasmus program.D. They give them chances for international study or internship.34. An example illustrating the general trend of universities' globalization is__________.A. Yale's collaboration with Fudan University on genetic researchB. Yale's helping Chinese universities to launch research projectsC. Yale's student exchange program with European institutionsD. Yale's establishing branch campuses throughout the world35. What do we learn about Silicon Valley from the passage?A. It houses many companies spun off from MIT and Harvard.B. It is known to be the birthplace of Microsoft Company.C. It was intentionally created by Stanford University.D. It is where the Internet infrastructure was built up.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。

2016年高考英语阅读理解模拟试题及答案(10)
高考/模拟试题2016年高考英语阅读理解模拟试题及答案(10)(十)Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists , jobs and money are lost.56.Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.57.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ________ .A. a bad effect on other industriesB. a change of tourists’ customsC. over - crowdedness of places of interestD. pressure on traffic58.It can be inferred from the text that________ .A. the author doesn’t like tourism developing so fastB. local people will benefit from tourist attractionC. other parts of a country’s economy won’t benefit from tourism muchD. we can't build too many support facilities59.The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ________ .A. waste a lot of moneyB. weaken their economyC. help establish their customsD. help improve their life答案：56.D 本文一开始便讲如果没有适当的计划，旅游业会带来的各种问题，可见前文叙述适当计划的好处，以正反两方面来阐述。

2016高考英语模拟试卷(四)时间:120分钟满分:150分)第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力(略)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。
(AThe Tropical Paradise HolidayWelcome to St Anna,our tropical paradise just off the coast of Latin America.You can spend two weeks in our luxury four-star hotel.The cost of your flight is included in the holiday,and you can be picked up from your home by our special airport bus.On your arriving,our coach will be waiting to take you to the hotel.All flights leave from Heathrow on a Monday morning.The Cowrie Hotel is built right on the beachfront,and many rooms have wonderful ocean views.If swimming and surfing are not enough for you,the hotel also offers horse rides on the island,and a discount membership of the golf club.The Rain Forest Adventure HolidayEvery year Broughton holidays offer twelve days of unforgettable adventure in a tropical rain forest.You may have a choice of Borneo,Malaysia,Indonesia,or even to the greatest rain forest of them all,the mighty Amazonian forest.You will fly to our special base camps at the edge of the forest,where you will be given five days of survival training,and talks on the local wildlife.Then you take a bus into the forest.You will have to walk the final five miles to the camp sites to avoid disturbing the local ecology.All of the camp sites have been carefully built to cause the minimal amount of disturbance to the local wildlife.Remember that these adventure holidays take you deep into the wilderness,and they are not suitable for families with young children.Also remember that no more than two dozen guests can stay at any camp at one time,so if you want to go on one of these very special holidays,you will need to book early!21.What can we learn about the rain forest holiday?()A.Travelers will learn to talk with wild animals.B.Different means of transportation will be used.C.The holiday will end with a survival training.D.Bookingearly,travelers will get a discount.22.What kind of people will probably choose the rain forest holiday?()A.People loving water sports.B.People travelling with children.C.People preferring comfortable hotels.D.People concerned with environment and wildlife.23.Which of the following is mentioned in both holidays?()A.Transportation.B.Price.C.Reservation.D.Departure time.BMany people think of the brain as a mystery.They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works.When they do think about what intelligence is,many people believe that a person is born either smart,average,or dumb—and stays that way for life.But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle—it changes and gets stronger when you use it.And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.Everyone knows that when you lift weights,your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds afte r working out for a long time.That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.And when you stop exercising,the muscles shrink and you get weaker.That’s why people say,“Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practi ce and learn new things,parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.Inside the cortex (脑皮层)of the brain are billions of tiny nerve munication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.When you learn new things,these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.The more you challenge your mind to learn,the more your brain cells grow.Then,things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy.The result is a stronger and smarter brain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains.They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment,with other animals and toys t o play with,were more “aptitudinal”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things.24.What’s the main idea of the passage?()A.Scientists show strong interest in what intelligence is.B.A new study shows the brain can be developed like a muscle.C.Both muscles and the brain are important to humans.D.Intelligence exists in both humans and animals.25.By using such numbers as 20 and 100 in Paragraph 2,the author tries to prove that .A.exercise plays an important role in keeping muscles strongerB.exercise is more important to people than most of the animalsC.everyone can keep healthy if they do enough exercisesD.everyone should learn as many new things as possible26.Like stronger muscles come from exercise,smarter brains need .A.to be well taken care ofB.a good communication between personsC.help from scientistsD.our learning new things27.What does the underlined word “aptitudinal” in the last paragraph probably mean?()A.Strong.B.Smart.C.Lovely.D.Active.CSeveral years ago I was diagnosed with cancer.It was the most difficult time I have ever faced.I think it was my sense of humor that allowed me to hold onto my sanity (心智健全).Like many people who have gone through chemotherapy(化疗),I lost all of my hair,being bald as a golf ball.I always had enjoyed wearing hats,so I ordered several special hats with the hair already attached.It was easy and I never had to worry about how my hair looked.I have always been a big golf fan.At one point during my cancer treatments,my husband John and I decided to get away from the cold Minnesota winter and took a trip to Scottsdale,Arizona.There was a Senior PGA Tour event called “The Tradition” being played,and that seemed like just the ticket to lift my spirits.The first day of the tournament brought out a huge crowd.It was a beautiful day,and I was in heaven.I was standing and watching my three favorite golfers in the world approach the tee box (开球区):Jack Nicklaus,Raymond Floyd and Tom Weiskopf.Just as they arrived at the tee,the unimaginable happened.A huge gust of wind came up from out of nowhere and blew my hat and hair right off my head and into the middle of the fairway(平坦球道)!The thousands of people lining the fairway fell into an awkward silence,all eyes on me.Even my three favorite golfers were watching me,as my hair was in their flight path.I was ashamed! Embarrassed as I was,I knew I couldn’t just stand there.Someone had to do something to get things moving again.So I took a deep breath and out into the middle of the fairway.I took hold of my hat and hair,put them back on my head as best I could.Then I turned to the golfers and loudly announced,“Gentlemen,the wind is blowing from left to right.”They said the laughter could be heard all the way to the nineteenth hole.28.What made the author remain mentally healthy even in her illness?()A.The Tradition.B.The treatment.C.Her family.D.Her humor.29.The underlined phrase in Para.3 “in heaven” probably means “”.A.scaredB.embarrassedC.puzzledD.excited30.Why did the author go into the fairway to pick up her hat and hair?()A.To amuse the golfers.B.To give a weather report.C.To have the game restarted.D.To draw others’ attention.31.We can know from the text that the author .A.was fond of wearing hatsB.was an excellent golferC.planned to live in ScottsdaleD.felt worried about her hairDTeens naturally ask parents for money for material things and entertainment.But as the need becomes more frequent,why not get a job so you can earn your own money? Working for your own money will give you a sense of accomplishment and the satisfaction of a job well done.Babysitting is a suitable job for teens.They are best suited as a mother’s helper while the mother is working in another part of the house.Babysitting is not a job for girls alone.Boy babysitters are popular with families of boys.Parents rely on friends and neighbors’ recommendations.Word of mouth is your best form of advertising.Pet-sitting involves caring for people’s pets while the owners are on vacatio n or away for the day.A pet-sitter will be responsible for giving fresh food and water,walking dogs and cleaning out cat litter boxes.Although the pet-sitter does not spend the night,he is there often enough to bring in the mail,water plants and take the garbage out.Create a flyer with your name,prices and references,and pass it out to the families in your neighborhood.Yard work can be a seasonal job.Spring cleanup is needed for flower beds and preparing the yard for summer.Summer is the busiest time for yard work with lawn mowing (割草坪),edging and trimming(修剪) bushes.Fall is the time for sweeping leaves and planting seeds for spring.If you live in a northern climate,there may be snow that needs shoveling.Odd jobs can mean a variety of things,includingpainting,washing the pet,weeding the garden,cleaning out the basement,or helping to serve dinner at a party.Doing odd jobs may be a good match for someone with a busy schedule.Most odd jobs only take a few hours to complete.For more information,please click here.32.What’s the main purpose of the text?()A.To show teens how to find a full-time job.B.To encourage teens to help with housework.C.To tell teens ways to earn their own money.D.To ask people to provide jobs for teens.33.What can we learn about babysitting?()A.Babysitting is the best job for teens.B.A babysitter is needed only when the mother is away.C.Parents prefer girl babysitters to boy babysitters.D.Friends or neighbors may be helpful to find a babysitting job.34.A pet-sitter is expected to do all the jobs except .A.feeding and walking a dogB.looking after the house at nightC.bringing in the mailD.taking the garbage out35.The text is most probably taken from a .A.job applicationB.popular magazineC.life websiteD.tourist guidebook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。

Denise Gray Will discuss politicsD. book reviews may affect book salesBIf you exhibit positive characteristics such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be thought as a good-looking person, for a new study has found that the perception(认知)of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person's personality.The study, which was led by Gary W. Lewandowski, has found that people who exhibit, negative characteristics, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers. In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities.After personality information was received, participants also rated the probability of each individual's becoming a friend and a dating partner. Information on personality was found to significantly change the probability, showing that cognitive(认知的)processes modify(修改) judgments of attractiveness."Thinking a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind," said Lewandowski.The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of becoming friends, which leads to greater expectation of becoming romantic partners and, finally, to being viewed as more physically attractive. The findings remained consistent regardless of how"attractive" the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participants' current relationship status."This research provides a positive outcome by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people's impressions of how good-looking you are," said Lewandowski.21.In the study the participants were required to ________.A. try to make friends with each otherB. try to prove positive characters make people more attractiveC. exhibit negative characters such as unfairness and rudenessD. rate one's attractiveness by photos before and after knowing her or his personality22.What's the CORRECT order of how cognitive processes modify judgments ofattractiveness?a.find a person with a positive personalityb.view the person more physically attractivec.want to make friends with the persond.want to be his/her romantic partnerA. a→c→d→bB. d→c→b→aC. c→b→a→dD. a→d→c→b23.Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A. The research reminds people to pay more attention to the personality.B. Personality call change people's impressions of one's appearance.C. The judgment of one's attractiveness always stays unchanged.D. Positive personality may lead to more friends.24.The passage is written in a(n) ________ tone.A. subjectiveB. objectiveC. scepticalD. negative25.Who are the intended readers of this passage?A. People with positive characteristics.B. Good-looking people.C. People with negative characteristics.D. General people.CGorillas(大猩猩)are born with all international sign language of gestures that they use to communicate, says a flew study from the University of St Andrews in Scotland. From beating their chests to putting objects on their heads, shaking their arms, and even bouncing on all fours, the animals use more than 100 gestures to communicate with each other.Professor Richard Byrne, a psychiatrist involved in the research, says it was hard to figure out the meanings of the gestures. "We don't really know what the animals are thinking. Often the gestures have more than one meaning, depending on the context," says Byme.The study showed that the gorillas did not learn the gestures from each other, as had been expected, but performed them instinctively(本能地)."Everyone had assumed different groups of gorillas would learn different gestures." he says. "But that's not what we found. The more sites we went to, the more we saw the same gestures being used. They seem to be naturally equipped with a pretty complex system of communication."The study also found that gestures were performed with close attention to the potential audience, so that silent signals, for example, were only given when other apes could see them. Other gestures, such as the "disco arm shake", were only ever seen directed towards humans.Byrne believes that the findings may explain how the human language developed. "There has always been speculation(猜测)that the origins of the human language might lie in gestures," he says. "Many researchers have therefore studied the gestural communication of the great apes for clues to the evolutionary origins of human gestures," he adds.Several studies have shown that great apes are capable of imitating gestures. However, the scientists found that what appeared to be copies of human actions were actually gestures the apes were already able to make themselves."They imitated the demonstrated actions pretty well, but not exactly", says Professor Byrne. "So we think the fact that apes have a huge range of skills of gestures explains how they can imitate human gestures, and why their copies are usually inexact: they're 'reusing' gestures from their own skills, not learning new ones."26.Why can't the researchers really know the meanings of gorilla gestures?A. Because gorillas possess the ability of making many kinds of gestures.B. Because they haven't made deep research into the animal.C. Because a gorilla gesture may have different meanings.D. Because gorillas can't exactly express their thoughts.27.According to the passage, Richard Byrne's research has found ________.A. different groups of gorillas would learn different gesturesB. gorillas know sign languages, from birthC. how gorillas learn from each otherD. gorillas develop a variety of languages when growing up28.If a gorilla wants to make a silent gesture towards another gorilla, he ________.A. needs to know how many other gorillas are watching himB. needs to make noise first in order to draw attentionC. will first make sure his gesture can be seenD. will first consider whether he can carry out his gesture29.Many scientists study the sign language of great apes in order to ________.A. find the origins of human languageB. explore the ways for people to communicate with apesC. learn how animals communicate with each otherD. discover the meanings of animal gestures30.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. It's easy for gorillas to copy the sign language of other animals.B. It's impossible for a gorilla to copy another gorilla's gestures.C. It's very easy for a young gorilla to learn sign language.D. It's very hard for gorillas to copy human gestures exactly.DThere are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的)result or a product than can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, theforeigner who learns a new language…all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they meet with new experience and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may "fail" at first How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we're shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly and we think we are slow to adapt to change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge. Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.31.In the author's eye, one who views personal growth as a process would ________.A. succeed in climbing up the social ladderB. grow up from his own achievementsC. face difficulties and take up challengesD. aim high and reach his goal each time32.Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal gowing?A. Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges.B. Jane won the first prize in the speech competition.C. Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris.D. Father's salary rose from 5,000 to 7,000.33.For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT ________.A. being curious about more changesB. being quick in self-adaptationC. having an open mind to new experiencesD. staying away from failures and challenges34.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. It is not so easy to measure personal growth.B. To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable.C. There are only two ways to see a person's growth.D. If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot gow up.35.The best title for this passage should be ________.A. Facing New ChallengesB. Growth—Product or ProcessC. Two Basic Ways of GrowthD. Overcoming Internal Fears三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）What is intelligence anyway?

The ski room is well equipped and the staffare very friendly and helpful in fitting the correct skis and boots.Overall the hotel is well appointed and conveniently located with its own underground car park, a selection of restaurants and spa facilities. We particularly enjoyed lunches on the sunny terrace(露天平台)facing the slopes and have a late afternoon drink at the bar area in the comfortable chairs and sofas which ale surrounded by two fires.We support the repeated comment in all the reviews that there is no control over the temperature in the room. We were also surprised the bathroom floor was not heated. This is to be expected at any five star hotel in the Alps and is a standard these days in so many homes that for a hotel not to have it is disappointing.Our main letdown with the hotel was service and this was broken down to the actual servicing of the room and the overall operation of the hotel. By our third night we did complain to the management and the GM Praveen was quick to meet with us and crack all the issues as well as offer us a drink and dinner on the house, which was highlyappreciated.The managements' timely response to our issues is why we have given this review 4 out of 5. Otherwise we would have given this hotel 3/5.Overall if you are looking to stay at the highest resort in Europe and want to beguaranteed snow, then the Altapura is the place to stay at in Val Thorens.What is the passage mainy about?

ABefore leaving work, Steve Lee likes to use his cell phone to turn on his heat and air conditioner system at home.So by the time he gets through traffic into his front door, the temperature inside is perfect.You may wonder what a socalled smart home can do inside.Lee works for a company called Smart , testing and living with many of his company's home automation gadgets(自动化小配件), like this multifunction touch screen that controls devices around the house and even connects to the Internet traffic cameras.“I have cameras, and they follow all the way down the freeway to work, ”said Lee with pride, “What's going on at home when you are away? No problem, install some wireless cameras and controllers and from any computer in the world with an Internet connection, you can watch your house.”“You can check on the house, and I ca n look at the temperature. Believe it or not, if I want to turn on lights ahead of time, I can, ”added Lee.We sat in Steve's California kitchen and with the right password,_turned on the kitchen counter lights at his boss' house in Wisconsin.Steve did have permission to log on(登录).“If you do know the password and you want to play a trick on your wife, you could turn lights on and off remotely.”This new technology, which can automatically turn on water sprinklers when humidity is low, or turn off a pool pump when it is not in use, is no longer expensive.Several hundred dollars for a basic system is enough and it is not hard to install.Sure the convenience is nice but many people who like the security advantages like making sure kids are safe with the help of camera monitors and bedside alerts.“I can notice that maybe one of my children wakes up in the middle of the night once the light switch is turned on.”What a smart home can't do is get you a snack and you have to leave the couch for that.1.What does the underlined word “password” in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Security code.B.Crossword.C.Passport.D.Touch screen.解析：词义猜测题。

She passed the examination for admission to Cambridge University in 1938, and it sparked a family crisis. Although her family was well-to-do and had a tradition of public service and charity, her father disapproved of universityeducation for women. He refused to pay. An aunt stepped in andsaid Franklin should go to school, and she would pay for it.Franklin’s mother also took her side until her father finally gave in.She was invited to King’s College in London to join a team of scientists. The leader of the team assigned her to work on DNAwith a graduate student. Franklin’s assumption（设想）was that itwas her own project. The laboratory’s second-in-command,Maurice Wilkins, was on vacation at the time, and when hereturned, their relationship was puzzling. He assumed she was to assist his work; she assumed she’d be the only one working on DNA. They had powerful personality differences as well: Franklin direct, quick, decisive（果断的）, and Wilkins shy, hesitant, and passive.In 1953, Wilkins changed the course of DNA history by disclosing（公开）, without Franklin’s permission, her Photo 51 to competing scientist James Watson, who was working on his own DNA model with Francis Crick at Cambridge. Upon seeing the photograph, Watson said, “My jaw fell open and my pulse began to race,”according to author Brenda Maddox who wrote the book Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA.The two scientists did in fact use what they saw in Photo 51 as the basis for their famous model of DNA, which they published on March 7, 1953, and for which they received a Nobel Prize in 1962. Crick and Watson were also able to take most of the credit for the finding: they included a footnote acknowledging that they were “stimulated（刺激、鼓励）by a general knowledge”of Franklin’s and Wilkin’s unpublished contribution, when much of their work was rooted in Franklin’s photo and findings. Franklin didn’t know that these men based their article on her research, and she didn’t complain either, likely as a result of her upbringing（教养）. Franklin “didn’t do anything that would invite criticism… (that was) bred into her,” Maddox said.21. Wilkins’ relationship with Franklin was characterized by __________.A. unity and harmonyB. confusion and competitionC. cooperation and miscommunicationD. misunderstanding and conflict22. What does Watson mean by saying “My jaw fell open and my pulse began torace”?A. He was confused that Crick had not made this discovery.B. He was surprised that Wilkins had discovered this information.C. He was satisfied with the importance of Photo 51.D. He was anxious about the progress Wilkins and Franklin had made.23. What is Brenda Maddox’s main intention according to the quote in the lastparagraph?A. To re-evaluate the importance of the DNA model.B. To criticize King’s College and Cambridge.C. To emphasize Franklin’s importance in science.D. To deny Watson’s and Crick’s contribution to science.24. Franklin’s career as a scientist demonstrates （证明）_________.A. that her work was pointing at the most difficult problemB. that she was the only female scientist during the periodC. the importance of DNA in modern scienceD. that perseverance leads to success and recognition of field scientistsBThe Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits.

The text probably comes from .A. a guide bookB. a popular magazineC. a book reviewD. an official documentCRobotic PuppyRoll over, sit and fetch aren’t commands normally given to a robot, but the smart toy company WowWee has developed a new way of owning a puppy.CHIP (Canine Home Intelligent Pet) is a robotic dog with blue LED eyes andpointy （尖的）ears and can sit, shake, dance and make alltypes of dog noises. It also has tracking capabilities to helplocate its owner. “The beauty about CHIP is that it has its ownthing going on,” said Sufer, CTO at WowWee. “It has its ownlife and own kind of intelligence. Even if you’re not around,it’s always doing something.”CHIP uses wheels to get around and is loaded with sensors(传感器) that give it a 360-degree view to find its ball. The pup is Bluetooth enabled, which connects to a wristband worn by its owner. The wristband, similar to a watch, displays icons（图标）for different commands such as a thumb-up, which allows you to give your pup（小狗）a digital belly rub. With its owner wearing a smart wristband, it can even follow him around the room.“We worked on CHIP for about five to six months,” Davin Sufer, told , “We typically come up with a concept, model and product and get it on shelves within a year.” The company plans to start ship ping units by next fall, which will allow them to load up the robotic dog with sensors and add many more animated responses per-owner interactivity.The high-tech toy company made its debut（处女作）in 2004 by releasing the 1.5 foot RoboSapien, which sold millions of units. MiP, which hit shelves last year, is a seven inch tall robot covered in white with black accents. Users can direct it, change its emotions and make it dance to any song on your iPad. It’s loud, fast and active.About 15 years ago, a company called ToyQuest developed the first ever electronic robotic dog---Tekno, the Robotic Puppy. The company sold over seven million units in the first season and 40 million more during its original four years of production. Tekno was built with over 160 emotions and instructions, but most importantly offered consumers a quick look into the future.29. According to Sufer, the amazing characteristic of CHIP is that _____.A. it is loaded with special sensorsB. it can make all kinds of dog noisesC. it has quick response to the commandsD. it can do something without instructions30. CHIP can follow its owner with the help of_____.A. a watchB. a smart wristbandC. pointy earsD. blue LED eyes31. From the passage, we can know_______.A. CHIP can be bought in the store nowB. WowWee introduced its first product last yearC. Tekno provided the bright future of the robotic puppyD. MiP is the first company to develop the robotic puppyDA Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies, creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people.An electromagnetic field（电磁场）will pull particles（微粒）in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned.“It's li ke when you have a balloon which has static（静电）and your hair goes toward it. Same with the smog,” says artist Daan Roosegaarde.His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog, Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results — with the help of a team of scientists and engineers — can be replicated（复制）outside.“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”“We'll be able to purify（净化）the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem, rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles.”However, he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement” by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.32. The device works by _______.A. helping keep the particles out with more masksB. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic fieldC. absorbing hair with a balloon with staticD. creating clean air and let it out into the sky33. According to the passage, ______ .A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in BeijingB. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoorsC. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectableD. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution34. What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a goodplace…... ”?A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.35. Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finallyB. invent more devices to clean the smog in BeijingC. drive modern cars and try different lifestylesD. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is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。
