However, not everyone thinks it‟s such a good idea.Food photos are popular on social networking sites. People often post pictures of their meals on Facebook or photo sites such as Tumblr and Instagram. Many of the pictures are of delicious-looking food from top-class restaurants. Some people even find it addictive(上瘾的). “I couldn‟t get enough of it. I had to IG(instagram) every single meal,” one food poster wrote.However, not all food photos are so attractive. There are now sites where you can post pictures of terrible-looking food. One such website is ers send pictures of their depressing meals, which include things such as half-eaten bits of chicken and leftover pizza.Sad Desk Lunch was created by office worker Kira Fisher in 2012. At the time, she was working as a video editor in New York. “I was starting at my rather terrible vegetable soup, which I was eating at my desk, and just thought, I can‟t believe I‟m eating this soup, let alone eating it alone at my desk,”she said. Other similar sites include , foodporndairy.co m and dimlyiitmealsforone. .Some chefs are trying to stop people photographing food in their restaurants. Gilles Goujon runs a three-star restaurant in southern France. He told news website France TV Info that every time his creations appear on social networks it “takes away the surprise, and a little bit of my intellectual property(知识产权)”.Alexandre Gauthier is the chef at the “Grenouillere”restaurant a “no camera”logo on his menus. “Before, people took pictures of their family in the restaurant; now we take pictures of food... We tweet, we …like‟(点赞), we respond to comments, and the dish is cold,” he explained.Will you be taking your camera next time you eat out?4. On which of the following websites can you probably find photos of tasty food?A. B. C. D. 5. What‟s Gilles Goujon‟s attitude towards food photography in restaurants?A. He dislikes it.B. He supports it.C. He is interested in it.D. He is uncertain about it.6. Alexandre Gauthier probably hopes customers in his restaurant can ________.A. take pictures of their foodB. just enjoy a delicious mealC. post their food photos onlineD. comment on the food he cooksCYou must have played or at least heard about thepopular game—Angry Bird, which has already grown to 400 million downloads as a result of its high popularity.What‟s more, it is reported that the number of monthly users of this game now goes up to 130 million, daily active users has reached 30 million, and 300 million minutes of the game is played each and every day. And perhaps what‟s so impressive about these crazy growth numbers is that the popularity of this game really hasn‟t been helped by much marketing(市场营销) at all. The total marketing budget of this game is $0.Yet, perhaps what is most exciting for Angry Birds fans is that a new bird is coming to the game for Halloween. Today, fans may have noticed that Rovio, the company behind this game, put a photo on their Facebook page, which immediately led to speculation on whether or not Rovio would be introducing a new bird into the game. And according to Andrew Stalbow, the manager of Rovio, that‟s exactly what‟s going to happen.He did not give details, so we‟re not sure what the bird will look like, but judging by the photo, it seems like this bird will be orange. At least in part.What‟s more, an Angry Birds movie has also been confirmed; the executive producer of Iron Man 2, Thor and Capain America, David Maisel, was hired onto the project back in June. It seems that they‟re serious about the movie.7.According to the first two paragraph, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The game has 130 million fans all over the world.B. 30 million people play the game every day.C. The game has been downloaded 400 million times all together.D. The total time that people play the game daily is 300 million minutes.8. What does the underlined word “speculation” in the third paragraph probably mean?9. We can learn from the text that the new bird _________.10. What‟s the main idea of the text?A. Why the game Angry Birds is so popular.B. The game Angry Birds is attracting more and more fans.C. Whether a new bird will be introduced to the game Angry Birds.D. The popular game Angry Birds will introduce a new bird and be made into a movie.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。

2020届山西省太原市第五中学高三上学期阶段性检测(10月) 英语(PDF版)

密学校班级姓名学号密封线内不得答题太原五中2019—2020学年度第一学期阶段性检测高三英语(2019.10.9)第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）(A)Many of us know about Russia ’s Lake Baikal from our textbooks, or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian’s hit song, Lake Baikal. But over the past decade, the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.Each March since 2005, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon . They come to explore the lake’s breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions.The 26-mile (41. 84-kilometers) journey starts on the lake’s eastern shore. In March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.Known as the “blue eye of Siberia ”, Lake Baikal has exceptionally clear waters. This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent. “Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she is jogging through space,” The New York Times noted.Th e landscape might be beautiful, but it’s also harsh. Strong winds blast (侵袭) across the lake and frostbite (冻伤) can occur within half an hour. Runners say the cold climate is what draws them. They want to test their limits.“When you are in such an environment, you don’t have cars around you, you don’t have the noise around. I think these extreme races allow you to be alone with nature,” Alicja Barahona, a 64-year-old runner from the US, told ABC News.The location offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon. The finish line is visible from the start. But the endless white offers no progress markers. The race also ends with little fanfare (喧闹). Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to snapping series (自拍) and just ignore the runners.For some runners, the absence of spectators makes the ra ce more challenging, because it’s lonely. They must fight with themselves. “You are alone on Bai kal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself,” Veronique Messina, a French runner, told the Telegraph.1. What can we know about the Baikal Ice Marathon from the text?A. It takes runners from the northern end to the southern end of the lake.B. It involves extreme weather and beautiful scenery.C. It attracts more and more participants each year.D. It is about 26 kilometers in length.2. How does the Baikal Ice Marathon differ from other marathons? A. Only men are allowed to run in this race.B. The runners can see the finish line from the start.C. The runners are often distracted by tourists.D. There are many progress markers on the ice.3. What is the most difficult part of the race for Messina? A. Loneliness. B. The long distance. C. The cold climate. D. Noisy surroundings.(B)In 1972, a social worker named Sanjit Bunker Roy founded Barefoot College in Tilonia, Rajasthan. Today the college trains women from villages for six months to build and maintain solar panels and other instruments. Barefoot College also offers education to the younger generation both during the day and at its solar bridge schools that meet by lamplight at night.The philosophy of Barefoot College is largely inspired by the principles of Gandhi, starting with equality beyond caste (种姓), gender or religion. As a matter of fact, women are prioritized (优先考虑) as an underserved population that is essential to bringing villages together. Another central principle of the college is self-reliance, teaching students to support and think for themselves.After the college’s female students have completed their half-year of training, they return to their villages where they wait for solar panel parts to arrive from the college. Once they have all the pieces they need, they construct the panels and begin collecting solar energy. For each village, the college also provides solar lamps. Villagers can, in addition, order parts for other solar-powered devices, such as water heaters and cooking stoves. Once assembled, they and the lamps are powered by the solar panels.The effect on the villages is huge. Before the solar panels and lamps arrived, villagers had only candles to light their homes. This prevented adults from doing serious work at night, and it made studying difficult for children as well. As for physicians, they had difficulty treating patients and performing operations at night because they had to rely on flashlights.Now there is power for not only the electrical appliances that the college provides but also devices like televisions, radios and computers. For the first time, the villagers can even connect to the world through the Internet.密封线内不得答题4. What does this text explain about the college? A. How it accomplishes its goals. B. How its global efforts are funded. C. How its founder hires employees. D. How it works with the government.5. Which idea is communicated by the college to women? A. They should be more involved in politics. B. They don’t have to depend on others .C. They aren’t educating their daughters enough .D. They focus too much on their communities.6. Which role do the women play after they return to their villages? A. They’re merchants . B. They’re composers . C. They’re technicians . D. They’re journalists .7. In the past, what was hard to provide in villages after dark? A. Dry shelter B. Clean water C. Medical care D. Food supplies(C)Imagine you are opening your own company and want to hire a manager. You have two candidates and they are both capable and experienced, so who would you rather hire: Julia Watson or Shobha Bhattacharva? Chances are that you would prefer Watson, right? But why? “Easy names are evaluated as more familiar, less risky and less dangerous, ” Eryn Newman, a scientist at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, told Scientific American. As a result, people with easier names are often assumed to be more trustworthy. This is what Newman and her teammates have found in their recent study.In the experiment, they picked 18 different foreign names, including difficult-to-pronounce ones like Yevgeni Dherzhinsky and easy names like Bodo Wallmeyer. They then attached each name with a statement such as “turtles are deaf” and “giraffes are the only mammals that cannot jump” and asked volunteers whether they thought the claims were true.The results showed that claims connected to easier names were more often ranked as believable than those attributed to difficult names, regardless of what the truth really was. In fact, previous studies have already found that our judgments about products can be affected by their names. For example, we tend to think of a food additive (添加剂) with an easier name as safer and a stock with an easier name as more lucrative (利润丰厚的)，according to Medical Daily.But researchers pointed out that this effect can change depending on where someone comes from. For example, a native British ma n may find “Yevgeni Dherzhinsky” hard to pronounce while Russian people could say it without effort. Newman hopes that this finding can make us better see our biases (偏见). It’s not just unfair to people that we make judgments based on gut feelings (直觉) rather than facts, and it can sometimes have serious consequences.For example, we may choose to believe certain eyewitnesses in court simply because their names sound more trustworthy even if they are actually lying. Or, we may let go of qualified job candidates due to their “difficult” names.Now, if you could make that decision again, would you still prefer Julia Watson to Shobha Bhattacharva?8. What did Newman and her teammates discover in their experiment? A. Volunteers with easier names were more likely to choose true claims.B. A difficult name doesn’t influence the way the volunteers viewed the claims.C. V olunteers trusted claims paired with easy names more often.D. V olunteers trusted claims connected with difficult names.9. The underlined w ords “this effect” in Paragraph 5 refer to the effect ______. A. names have on peoples judgmentsB. gut feelings have on people from different placesC. of decisions made based on factsD. of people ’s biases against certain types of people 10. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. We should think twice before we make a decision.B. The harder your name is to pronounce, the more likely it is you will get a job.C. Judging people based on their names may cause serious problems.D. Russian s have less bias against people’s names than the British. 11. What is probably the best title for the text? A. Names Affect ProductsB. Employers Prefer Shobha BhattacharvaC. Difficult Names are TrustworthyD. Easy Names Win Out(D)Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that one side of the brain acts as a “night watch” to warn us about potential dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment. For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.密学校班级姓名学号密封线内不得答题According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.The findings suggest that the different rhythms (5%) of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can’t relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in daytime.“At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you are not aware of the ana lysis, ” US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine. “If something unusual happens --- if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock--- you can be alert, even though the intensity of the stimulus (刺激) is quite low.”More surprisingly, this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its corresponding eye staying open.The researchers think that it is the result of evolution, and works to protect us in potentially dangerous environments.If you have ever had what you think is “first night effect”, researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.12. What did the new study published in Current Biology find?A. A comfortable bed could help people sleep well in a new environment.B. Most people could sleep well in a new environment after the first night.C. Brain activities affected people ’s sleep in a new environment.D. The right brain determined how well people slept in a new environment. 13. What was found out about the volunteers?A. Their left brains were more active on the first night.B. Their right brains became more active as days went by.C. Their right brains kept them awake the whole night.D. They slept better in the sleep lab than at home.14. What do the researchers think makes the brain sensitive to new things? A. The bad sleep experiences people have had. B. The tiredness that people suffer from in daytime. C. The imbalance between the two sides of the brain. D. The strangeness of the things that people come across 15. What do the researchers think of “first night effect” ? A.

However, not everyone thinks it’s such a good idea.Food photos are popular on social networking sites. People often post pictures of their meals on Facebook or photo sites such as Tumblr and Instagram. Many of the pictures are of delicious-looking food from top-class restaurants. Some people even find it addictive(上瘾的). “I couldn’t get enough of it. I had to IG(instagram) every single meal,” one food poster wrote.However, not all food photos are so attractive. There are now sites where you can post pictures of terrible-looking food. One such website is . Users send pictures of their depressing meals, which include things such as half-eaten bits of chicken and leftover pizza.Sad Desk Lunch was created by office worker Kira Fisher in 2012. At the time, she was working as a video editor in New York. “I was starting at my rather terrible vegetable soup, which I was eating at my desk, and just thought, I can’t believe I’m eating this soup, let alone eating it alone at my desk,”she said. Other similar sites include , foodporndairy.co m and dimlyiitmealsforone. .Some chefs are trying to stop people photographing food in their restaurants. Gilles Goujon runs a three-star restaurant in southern France. He told news website France TV Info that every time his creations appear on social networks it “takes away the surprise, and a little bit of my intellectual property(知识产权)”.Alexandre Gauthier is the chef at the “Grenouillere”restaurant a “no camera”logo on his menus. “Before, people took pictures of their family in the restaurant; now we take pictures of food... We tweet, we ‘like’(点赞), we respond to comments, and the dish is cold,” he explained.Will you be taking your camera next time you eat out?4. On which of the following websites can you probably find photos of tasty food?A. B. C. D. 5. What’s Gilles Goujon’s attitude towards food photography in restaurants?A. He dislikes it.B. He supports it.C. He is interested in it.D. He is uncertain about it.6. Alexandre Gauthier probably hopes customers in his restaurant can ________.A. take pictures of their foodB. just enjoy a delicious mealC. post their food photos onlineD. comment on the food he cooksCYou must have played or at least heard about thepopular game—Angry Bird, which has already grown to 400 million downloads as a result of its high popularity.What’s more, it is reported that the number of monthly users of this game now goes up to 130 million, daily active users has reached 30 million, and 300 million minutes of the game is played each and every day. And perhaps what’s so impressive about these crazy growth numbers is that the popularity of this game really hasn’t been helped by much marketing(市场营销) at all. The total marketing budget of this game is $0.Yet, perhaps what is most exciting for Angry Birds fans is that a new bird is coming to the game for Halloween. Today, fans may have noticed that Rovio, the company behind this game, put a photo on their Facebook page, which immediately led to speculation on whether or not Rovio would be introducing a new bird into the game. And according to Andrew Stalbow, the manager of Rovio, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.He did not give details, so we’re not sure what the bird will look like, but judging by the photo, it seems like this bird will be orange. At least in part.What’s more, an Angry Birds movie has also been confirmed; the executive producer of Iron Man 2, Thor and Capain America, David Maisel, was hired onto the project back in June. It seems that they’re serious about the movie.7.According to the first two paragraph, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The game has 130 million fans all over the world.B. 30 million people play the game every day.C. The game has been downloaded 400 million times all together.D. The total time that people play the game daily is 300 million minutes.8. What does the underlined word “speculation”in the third paragraph probably mean?9. We can learn from the text that the new bird _________.10. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Why the game Angry Birds is so popular.B. The game Angry Birds is attracting more and more fans.C. Whether a new bird will be introduced to the game Angry Birds.D. The popular game Angry Birds will introduce a new bird and be made into a movie.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。

But if you overheard a British person say, “A Billy left some bees and honey in my sherbet (冰冻果露) last night,” would you understand what they meant?Probably not, but many native speakers may not know what this person was saying either.The example above was a sentence that a London taxi driver might say to another member of his or her tribe (群体). In plain English, the sentence would be, “A customer left some money in my cab last night.”So, what exactly is meant by “tribe”?A recent article on the BBC Culture website pointed out that nearly all of us are a part of a tribe.This is a group that defines (定义) who we are and even how we speak. And with each tribe comes its own “secret language”, as the BBC called it.If you work in a certain industry – education, for example – you may use slang words (俚语) and acronyms (首字母缩略词) that only other people who work in that industry would understand. Or if you live in a certain city, you might use a slang word to describe a landmark (地标) in the city, which only locals would understand.These so-called secret languages each have their own fascinating history. In the US, for example, the underground “ballroom” (舞厅) tribe of 1970s and 80s New York City and its language were showed in the 2018 FX show Pose.Th ese secret words don’t always stay within their tribes, however. Words from many tribes, especially musical cultures such as rap and hip-hop, often enter people’s everyday vocabulary. For example, the phrase “to have beef” –meaning “to be in a conflict” – was made popular by US rappers. Today, it’s widely used by native English speakers all over the world.As BBC reporter Susie Dent wrote, “We are all surrounded by amazing secret languages, full of history and stories and in-jokes. And one thing is certain: our tribal conversations will never run out.”11. The example at the beginning of the text is mainly used to ______.A. prove that English is hard to learnB. explain the meaning of tribesC. teach readers how to communicate with London cab driversD. show how the languages of tribes are often difficult for outsiders to understand12. What can we know about secret languages?A. They mostly came from musical cultures.B. Some words from them are popular in everyday conversation.C. They first started in New York City in the 1980s.D. They have failed to become popular among young people.13. What is Dent’s attitude toward the future of secret languages?A. Confident.B. Worried.C. Uninterested.D. Objective.BAnn was on her first package trip in Rosas, Spain.At the hotel, she checked in, and then went to her room to change before dinner. She was just ready to go downstairs when she found that her Spanish money wasn’t in her handbag. She carefully looked in all her luggage, but she couldn’t find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English pound notes in it!Ann found a place to change her English money. She had very few pesetas (西班牙货币单位), and she would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food; she’d just have breakfast each day, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast.For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath. When the other tourists went to interesting places, she always said she wasn’t well. In fact, her holiday wasn’t bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn’t very much.Late in the afternoon of their last day, a girl, Jane, asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel restaurant. Ann told her about her money problems. Jane looked at her for a minute, and then said, “But didn’t you know?The price of this holiday includes everything!”14. “A package trip” probably means _________.A. a free trip with family membersB. a long journey with a lot of packsC. a pleasant trip which everyone takes their own thingsD. a trip that includes the cost of all the tickets and services15. Ann didn’t eat dinners in the restaurant of the hotel because _________.A. she was afraid that she couldn’t pay for them with her little moneyB. her doctor told her not to eat themC. she wasn’t wellD. she wasn’t hungry16. Why did Ann buy some cheese, some bread and some oranges?A. Because they were good for her health.B. Because she planned to eat them instead of lunch and supper.C. Because she liked them more than dinners in the hotel restaurant.D. Because she is afraid that she couldn’t eat enough in the hotel restaurant.17. How do you think Jane would feel after she heard Ann’s answer?A. Angry.B. Happy.C. Surprised.D. ExcitedCLosing weight comes with a lot of health benefits — including making your brain sharper.Yes, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive (认知的) functions such as memory and attention. There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology (心理学) at Kent State University.Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits (缺陷). So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of l50 overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23％showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions. Scores for the volunteers who didn’t lose weight dropped even further.The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that he’s seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way — eating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “If we can improve the condition w ith operations, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,’’ he says.18. The result of Gunstad’s study shows that ___________.A. losing weight has little effect on people’s memoryB. losing weight can improve peopl e’s mental functionsC. overweight people are likely to have psychology problemsD. overweight people’s abilities of concentration differ greatly19. What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?A. Slim people are smarter than overweight people.B. Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight.C. Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation.D. Overweight people will get smarter by the traditional way.20. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Body Weight and HealthB. Losing Weight by OperationC. Ways to Improve Mental FunctionsD. Losing Weight to Sharpen Your Mind第二节根据短文内容，从短文中的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020届山西省太原市第五中学高三上学期阶段性检测(10月) 英语

太原五中2019—2020学年度第一学期阶段性检测高三英语(2019.10.9)第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）(A)Many of us know about Russia’s Lake Baikal from our textbooks, or by list ening to Chinese singer Li Jian’s hit song, Lake Baikal. But over the past decade, the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.Each March since 2005, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon. They come to explore the lake’s breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions.The 26-mile (41. 84-kilometers) journey starts on the lake’s eastern shore. In March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.Known as the “blue eye of Siberia”, Lake Baikal has exceptionally clear waters. This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent. “Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she is jogging through space,” The New York Times noted.The landscape might be beauti ful, but it’s also harsh. Strong winds blast (侵袭) across the lake and frostbite (冻伤) can occur within half an hour. Runners say the cold climate is what draws them. They want to test their limits.“When you are in such an environment, you don’t have cars around you, you don’t have the noise around. I think these extreme races allow you to be alone with nature,” Alicja Barahona, a 64-year-old runner from the US, told ABC News.The location offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon. The finish line is visible from the start. But the endless white offers no progress markers. The race also ends with little fanfare (喧闹). Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to snapping series (自拍) and just ignore the runners.For some runners, the absence of spectators makes the ra ce more challenging, because it’s lonely. They must fight with themselves. “You are alone on Bai kal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself,” Veronique Messina, a French runner, told the Telegraph.1. What can we know about the Baikal Ice Marathon from the text?A. It takes runners from the northern end to the southern end of the lake.B. It involves extreme weather and beautiful scenery.C. It attracts more and more participants each year.D. It is about 26 kilometers in length.2. How does the Baikal Ice Marathon differ from other marathons?A. Only men are allowed to run in this race.B. The runners can see the finish line from the start.C. The runners are often distracted by tourists.D. There are many progress markers on the ice.3. What is the most difficult part of the race for Messina?A. Loneliness.B. The long distance.C. The cold climate.D. Noisy surroundings.(B)In 1972, a social worker named Sanjit Bunker Roy founded Barefoot College in Tilonia, Rajasthan. Today the college trains women from villages for six months to build and maintain solar panels and other instruments. Barefoot College also offers education to the younger generation both during the day and at its solar bridge schools that meet by lamplight at night.The philosophy of Barefoot College is largely inspired by the principles of Gandhi, starting with equality beyond caste (种姓), gender or religion. As a matter of fact, women are prioritized (优先考虑) as an underserved population that is essential to bringing villages together. Another central principle of the college is self-reliance, teaching students to support and think for themselves.After the college’s female students have completed their half-year of training, they return to their villages where they wait for solar panel parts to arrive from the college. Once they have all the pieces they need, they construct the panels and begin collecting solar energy. For each village, the college also provides solar lamps. Villagers can, in addition, order parts for other solar-powered devices, such as water heaters and cooking stoves. Once assembled, they and the lamps are powered by the solar panels.The effect on the villages is huge. Before the solar panels and lamps arrived, villagers had only candles to light their homes. This prevented adults from doing serious work at night, and it made studying difficult for children as well. As for physicians, they had difficulty treating patients and performing operations at night because they had to rely on flashlights.Now there is power for not only the electrical appliances that the college provides but also devices like televisions, radios and computers. For the first time, the villagers can even connect to the world through the Internet.4. What does this text explain about the college?A. How it accomplishes its goals.B. How its global efforts are funded.C. How its founder hires employees.D. How it works with the government.5. Which idea is communicated by the college to women?A. They should be more involved in politics.B. They don’t have to depend on others.C. They aren’t educating their daughters enough.D. They focus too much on their communities.6. Which role do the women play after they return to their villages?A. They’re merchants.B. They’re composers.C. They’re technicians.D. They’re journalists.7. In the past, what was hard to provide in villages after dark?A. Dry shelterB. Clean waterC. Medical careD. Food supplies(C)Imagine you are opening your own company and want to hire a manager. You have two candidates and they are both capable and experienced, so who would you rather hire: Julia Watson or Shobha Bhattacharva?Chances are that you would prefer Watson, right? But why?“Easy names are evaluated as more familiar, less risky and less dangerous, ”Eryn Newman, a scientist at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, told Scientific American. As a result, people with easier names are often assumed to be more trustworthy. This is what Newman and her teammates have found in their recent study.In the experiment, they picked 18 different foreign names, including difficult-to-pronounce ones like Yevgeni Dherzhinsky and easy names like Bodo Wallmeyer. They then attached each name with a statement such as “turtles are deaf” and “giraffes are the only mammals that cannot jump”and asked volunteers whether they thought the claims were true.The results showed that claims connected to easier names were more often ranked as believable than those attributed to difficult names, regardless of what the truth really was. In fact, previous studies have already found that our judgments about products can be affected by their names. For example, we tend to think of a food additive (添加剂) with an easier name as safer and a stock with an easier name as more lucrative (利润丰厚的)，according to Medical Daily.But researchers pointed out that this effect can change depending on where someone comes from. For example, a native British ma n may find “Yevgeni Dherzhinsky” hard to pronounce while Russian people could say it without effort. Newman hopes that this finding can make us better see our biases (偏见). It’s not just unfair to people that we make judgments based on gut feelings (直觉) rather than facts, and it can sometimes have serious consequences.For example, we may choose to believe certain eyewitnesses in court simply because their names sound more trustworthy even if they are actually lying. Or, we may let go of qualified job candidates due to their “difficult” names.Now, if you could make that decision again, would you still prefer Julia Watson to Shobha Bhattacharva?8. What did Newman and her teammates discover in their experiment?A. Volunteers with easier names were more likely to choose true claims.B. A difficult name doesn’t influence the way the volunteers viewed the claims.C. V olunteers trusted claims paired with easy names more often.D. V olunteers trusted claims connected with difficult names.9. The underlined w ords “this effect” in Paragraph 5 refer to the effect ______.A. names have on peoples judgmentsB. gut feelings have on people from different placesC. of decisions made based on factsD. of people’s biases against certain types of people10. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. We should think twice before we make a decision.B. The harder your name is to pronounce, the more likely it is you will get a job.C. Judging people based on their names may cause serious problems.D. Russian s have less bias against people’s names than the British.11. What is probably the best title for the text?A. Names Affect ProductsB. Employers Prefer Shobha BhattacharvaC. Difficult Names are TrustworthyD. Easy Names Win Out(D)Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that one side of the brain acts as a “night watch” to warn us about potential dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment. For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.The findings suggest that the different rhythms (5%) of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can’t relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in daytime.“At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you are not aware of the analysis, ” US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine. “If something unusual happens --- if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock--- you can be alert, even though the intensity of the stimulus (刺激) is quite low.”More surprisingly, this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its corresponding eye staying open.The researchers think that it is the result of evolution, and works to protect us in potentially dangerous environments.If you have ever had what you think is “first night effect”, researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.12. What did the new study published in Current Biology find?A. A comfortable bed could help people sleep well in a new environment.B. Most people could sleep well in a new environment after the first night.C. Brain activities affected people’s sleep in a new environment.D. The right brain determined how well people slept in a new environment.13. What was found out about the volunteers?A. Their left brains were more active on the first night.B. Their right brains became more active as days went by.C. Their right brains kept them awake the whole night.D. They slept better in the sleep lab than at home.14. What do the researchers think makes the brain sensitive to new things?A. The bad sleep experiences people have had.B. The tiredness that people suffer from in daytime.C. The imbalance between the two sides of the brain.D. The strangeness of the things that people come across15. What do the researchers think of “first night effect” ?A. It has evolved as a way to protect us.B. It’s a characteristic that animals don’t have.C. It’s completely different from the way animals sleep.D. It helps people to get used to new environments quickly.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。
