But being a student, Dudley didn’t have the money to get braces(牙箍). So, he decided to3-D print his own and marked down the DIY project in a recent blog post. His braces totaled less than $60, and after wearing them for 16 weeks, his teeth are also getting straighter.Months ago, he mentioned on his blog that he avoided smiling for a while because he was unhappy with his teeth.However, clear braces can get pricey, costing up to $8,000.

He then made non-harmful plastic molds (模子) around them to make 12 sets of braces.Dudley, who does not recommend attempting any of this at home said that he didn’t ask a dentist for his project. But the student did get information from journal articles and textbooks. And though this was a perfectly friendly cho ice to buy braces. He didn’t accept the project just to save money--he was also up for the challenge.“When I realized that I could do something that was a little bit special, while proving my skills as a designer and a maker, and fixing something that was making me self-conscious for actually free, I felt it was more than worth the risk.” he said.36.

AMake a difference with your photographyTake the chance to make a real difference with your photography and contribute to One Minute on Earth, a project aiming to help street children around the world.We all live on the planet Earth, in different time zones and different parts of the world. When you read this, it will be night in one part of the world and morning somewhere else. A sunset and a sunrise is always there at any minute on earth.In 2015 on the 6th of April at 13:00 (New York time), 200 photographers all around the world clicked on the button of their cameras all within the same minute on earth. From all these amazing landscape photos and stories, a photobook was made which was sold to raise money for charity.100% of this profit was donated to the Ashalayam Deutschland organisation which used this money to support a street children center in Kolkata India. You can still buy this book from our website, which will help us continue to support the kids.We plan to hold this event annually, with the next one scheduled on June 21st 2016 at 21:00 (New York time). Money raised from the sale of the new photobook will go to a home in South Africa where 75 parentless children live. This year’s event will include not only landscape photos but also street photos. The main rule is that the sky must be shown in the photo, so all can see at what time it was shot when this year’s One Minute on Earth got to you.1. What is the main goal of One Minute on Earth?A. To raise money for children.B. To publish a photobook.C. To find the best picture.D. To take pictures of different places.2. What do the 2015 and 2016 events have in common?A. They take place on the same date.B. They each produce a photobook.C. They require the same type of picture.D. The money raised goes to the same children.3. What is the main rule of the 2016 event?A. All photos must be landscapes.B. The photos must be taken in Africa.C. The sky must appear in every photo.D. Each photographer can submit only one photo.BFor many people, leisure time is an opportunity to get outdoors, have some fun and meet interesting people. Add two pieces of advanced 21st century technology — global positioning system (GPS) devices and the Internet —to get “geocaching”.The word geocaching comes from “geo” (earth) and “cache” (hidden storage). Geocachers log onto a website to find information about the location of a cache — usually a waterproof plastic box containing small items such as toys and CDs —along with a notebook where “finders” can enter comments and learn about the cache “owner”, the person who created and hid the cache. Finders may take any of the items in the cache but are expected to replace them with something of similar value. They then visit the website again and write a message to the owner.Geocaching became possible on May 1, 2000, when a satellite system developed by the U.S. Department of Defense was made public. Using an inexpensive GPS device, anyone on earth can send a signal to the satellites and receive information about their position. This is basically a high-tech version of orienteering, the traditional pastime which uses maps and compasses instead of GPS to determine one’s location.Geocachers are a very considerate group. Owners carefully choose a cache’s location to give finders an enjoyable experience, such as a beautiful view or a good campsite. They also consider the environmental impact of their cache since it could result in an increased number of visitors to an area. As for the content of the caches, owners and finders must only use items that are suitable for the whole family, as caches are found by geocachers of all ages.4. According to the passage, geocaching is __________.A. an outdoor leisure activityB. a new type of technologyC. a game used to teach geographyD. a program to protect environment5. How can finders learn about the cache owners?A. By meeting them.B. By going to a website.C. From the notebook.D. From the satellite.6. Which of the following is NOT used in geocaching?A. A GPS device.B. A compass.C. A plastic container.D. The Internet.7. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Most geocachers are adults.B. Any item can be placed in the caches.C. The caches should be put in a remote place.D. Geocachers try to avoid damaging the environment.CAs a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn’t find the chimps’ tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus.And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts — men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved.When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal’s name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced.As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common — and understandable — complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer?Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But — you may protest — they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of h unger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn’t so bad.Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA’s approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organises the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course it’s no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn’t always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?8. The passage is mainly about __________.A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closed downC. a new environmental organisationD. the difference between zoos and circuses9. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals __________.A. had much shorter lives than those in the wildB. were not treated well by their trainersC. should have been placed in zoosD. were not as intelligent as those in zoos10. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA?A. Organising animal study projects and training zoo workers.B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges.C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.11. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with?A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild.B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past.C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past.D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals.DFar out in the lake was a large wooden platform on which stood an improbably high diving board — a kind of wooden Eiffel Tower. It was, I’m sure, the county’s tallest wooden structure and no one had ever been known to jump from it.So it was quite a shock when our teacher, Mr. Milton, announced that he would dive off the high board that very afternoon.Word of his questionable plan was already spreading through town as Mr. Milton swam out to the platform. He was just a tiny, stick figure when he got there but even from such a distance the high board seemed almost to touch the clouds. Once at the top, he paced the enormously long board, then took some deep breaths and finally stood at edge. He was going to do it.Several hundred people had gathered at the shore to watch. Mr. Milton stood for quite a long time, then he raised his arms, took one massive bounce and launched himself into a perfect dive. It was beautiful. He fell with perfect style for what seemed minutes. The crowd fell silent. The only sound to be heard was the faint whistle of his body tearing through the air toward the water far, far below.But about three quarters of the way down he seemed to have second thoughts and began suddenly to panic, waving his arms and legs like someone having a bad dream. When he was perhaps thirty feet above the water, he gave up on waving and spread his arms and legs wide, apparently hoping that it would somehow slow his fall.It didn’t.He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour. The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of their trees three miles away. I don’t think he entered the water at all. He just bounced off it, about fifteen feet back into the air. After that, he lay still on the surface, spinning like an autumn leaf.He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat and placed on an old blanket where he spent the rest of the afternoon. Occasionally he accepted small sips of water, but otherwise was too shocked to speak. From head to toe, he was covered with deep red bruises.... It was the best day of my life.12. What did the writer think of Mr. Milton’s plan to jump from the diving board?A. Crazy.B. Disappointing.C. Heroic.D. Confused.13. In Paragraph 3, Mr Milton is d escribed as “a tiny, stick figure” because he was __________.A. tired after swimmingB. very small and thinC. very far awayD. sure to be broken14. Why did Mr. Milton suddenly start swinging his arms and legs during the dive?A. He thought it was the best way to slow his fall.B. He lost his confidence and started to panic.C. He was signalling the crowd for help.D. He wanted to show his courage.15. Which of the following sentences from the passage is an example of a fact?A. He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour.B. The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of trees up to three miles away.C. He just bounced off it, about fifteen feet back into the air.D. He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat ….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。

• Dear Bill, • How is everything? (问候) • I’m doing a project on how British and Chinese students spend their winter holidays.(背景) In China, the winter vacation is usually about twenty days long. It falls during the Chinese New Year, so most students take part in different Spring Festival activities, such as visiting family, eating lots of foods, and most importantly, getting lucky money! During the holiday many students will also go traveling with their parents. Unfortunately they can’t travel for long because Chinese students always have a lot of homework to do during this break. Many must even attend special holiday classes. (介绍中国学生假期生活)What about in the UK? How do the students spend the winter holidays there?(询问)

广东省广州市XX中学2016年中考一模英语试题含答案广州市2015学年下学期初三综合测试英语科测试试题一、语法选择（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）Humankind ___1___ to improve ___2___ standard of living since the very beginning of civilization. Back then, as well as today, providing food and security was the basic task for a per-son. However, nowadays the range of required goods has expanded significantly. People feel the need for not only some primary things, such as a piece of bread and a roof over their heads, but also for various facilities and luxuries. Providing humanity ___3___ these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energy. In turn, the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution, so economic growth is almost unavoidably associated with environmental damage.Economic growth is the increase in numbers of goods and services produced over time by an economy, and it is calculated in terms of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Before growth is calculated, inflation (通货膨胀)is adjusted in order to take into account its misleading effect on the price of goods and services. Economic growth can also be explained as the increase in expected output, which results from an increase in ___4___ output, or total demand.There are certain aspects of economic growth which affect the environment. The first of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, at ___5___ faster rate, the construction of large industrial plants is required. These plants produce ___6___ waste, ___7___ to the pollution of water and the atmosphere, which may cause negative long term health effects to nearby ___8___ of animals, or people. They also lead to global warming.Industrial manufacturing leads to the constantly increasing energy consumption. The traditional energy sources, which ___9___ commonly used nowadays, are considered ___10___ the greatest polluters to the environment. There also exist so-called ecofriendly sources of energy. They are ___11___ preferred but replacing the traditional sources with them also requires time, ___12___ people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertakings.In order to produce economically practical energy, a sometimes significant transformation of the natural site is often inevitable. This is expensive and, has harmful effects on the environment. Application of wind energy would block airflows' natural speed which is the reason for their decrease in strength, after crossing the windmill. Consequently, the pres-sure balance that is brought about by this current ___13___ , and it is important to remember ___14___ the environment and weather conditions are ___15___ affected by atmospheric pressure.For these reasons, bringing about economic growth without any resulting environmental damage, whatsoever, is impossible.( )1．A. has tried B. had tried C. tried D. have tried ( )2．A. their B. its C. his D. our( )3．A. for B. with C. about D. to( )4．A. expected B. expecting C. expectment D. being expected ( )5．A. the B. an C. a D. /( )6．A. many B. a large number of C. a little D. plenty of ( )7．A. leading B. led C. leads D. is leading( )8．A. population B. populations C. a population D. an population ( )9．A. is B. are C. was D. were( )10．A. being B. be C. to be D. was( )11．A. some times B. some time C. sometime D. sometimes ( )12．A. where B. that C. which D. during which ( )13．A. will effect B. will be effected C. is affected D. affects ( )14．A. that B. which C. how D. when( )15．A. direct B. directly C. indirect D. indirectly第二节、完形填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）In Britain, people have different attitudes to the police.Most people generally ___16___ them and the job they do-although there are certain people who do not believe that the police ___17___ have the power that they do.What does a policeman actually do? It is not an easy job to describe. After all, a policeman has a number of jobs in one. A policeman often has to control traffic, either on foot in the center of a town, or in a police car on the roads. Indeed, in Britain, he might be in the Traffic Police and spend all, or a lot of, his time ___18___ up and down main roads and motorways. A traffic policeman has to help keep the traffic moving, stop speeding motorists and help when there is an accident.A policeman has to help keep the ___19___ , too. If there is a fight or some other disturbance, we expect he police to come and restore order. And they often have to deal situation at great risk to their own ___20___ .We expect the police to solve crimes, of course, so an ordinary policeman, ___21___ he is not a detective, he will often have to help look for and arrest criminals.And who do we call when there is an emergency-an air crash, a ___22___ , a road accident, or a robbery? We call the police. So a policeman has to be ___23___ to face any unpleasant emergency that may happen in the modern world.The police do an absolutely necessary job, they do it ___24___ well and I support them, but I do not envy policemen.

With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn't solve anything.Communication begins with the concerns (关心) of another. It means that you can't just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore (不理睬) everyone. Even if you just say"Hi", and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word "communication" in a dictionary, it would say"the exchange of ideas, the conveyance (表达) of information, correspondence (通信), means of communication: a letter or a message". To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it's just by writing a note.When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn't feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren't as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie's parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble. Communication isn't a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie's, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication. ( ) 26. In the writer's view, dealing with parents is _____ than with children.A. more difficultB. easierC. more uninterestingD. more interesting( ) 27. The main idea of the second paragraph is _____.A. the importance of friendshipB. to make your feeling known to othersC. the importance of communicationD. the disagreement between generations ( ) 28.When parents and children are in communication, the key to a happy relationship is that _____.A. children should always obey their parentsB. they should be equalC. parents play the leading partD. both make the opposite know their feelings( ) 29.The example in this passage proves that _____.A. Sophie's parents are willing to listen to herB. Sophie is very polite to her parentsC. Sophie did well in explaining her being lateD. communication is the solution (解决办法) to misunderstanding( ) 30. All the following statements are correct except "_____".A. If you don't agree with others, you'd better let them knowB. It is better to say "Hi" to others than say nothingC. If you are not able to communicate, walk awayD. Communication is a two-way deal( B )When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said"the phone". Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. "The mobile saved my life, "says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue. Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, "We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn't meet for the first two weeks!"Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn't know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they're space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(进入) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.( ) 31.How do you understand Point 1-The telephone creates the need to communicate,6…?A. People don't communicate without telephone.B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.D. People communicate more because of more traffic.( ) 32.Which of the following best shows people's attitude towards mobile phones?A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.D. Mobile phones are part of people's life.( ) 33.Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people's life?a. Point 1.b. Point2.c. Point3.d. Point 4.e. Point 5.A. c, dB. a, eC. a, cD. b, e( ) 34.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through .A. the TV screenB. a fax machineC. the phone line hooked up to the computerD. a microphone( ) 35.The best heading for the passage is .A. The power of PhoneB. Kinds of PhoneC. How to Use PhonesD. Advantage of Phones( C )I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet, I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the car accident I had to see a doctor-and go to court (法庭).After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I'd have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had help me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.But every time I want to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance (保险) company the date I was leaving American. Knowing that, they played for time and I left without getting a cent.( ) 36. The author's roommate offered to help him because _____.A. he felt sorry for the authorB. he thought it was a chance to make some moneyC. he knew the doctor was a very good oneD. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer( ) 37. A good doctor is essential for the author to _____.A. to be properly treatedB. talk with the person responsible for the accidentC. recover before he leave AmericaD. eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury( ) 38. The word "charge"in this passage means ______.A. be responsibleB. accuseC. ask as a priceD. claim ( ) 39. Both the doctor and the lawyer in the passage are very _____.A. friendlyB. selfishC. professionalD. busy( ) 40. What conclusion can you draw from the story?A. Going to court is something very common in AmericaB. One must very careful while driving a carC. There are more bad sides in America than good sidesD. Money is more important than other things in America( D )When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it isshort-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term.They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understandingand use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation (积极性). Today's work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they are recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker.Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor (因素) in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence-knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.( )41.The underlined phrase "shooting oneself in the foot" means ______ in the passage.A. throw or walk in a specific direction or towards a specific objective.B. to injure or harm one's own interestsC. to move or pass suddenly or swiftlyD. to grow forth from the ground( )42. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when _____.A. he is forced to do thingsB. be cannot work at his bestC. he feels his brain shut downD. he thinks of his work as too heavy( )43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. People tend to associate leadership with fearB. Working conditions affect people's physical healthC. Good relationship is the key to business successD. Smart people are more functional in the work place.( )44. To positively influence employees a leader should first of all ______.A. provide better suggestionsB. develop his own personalityC. five his employees a pay raiseD. hide his own emotion of fear( )45. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader's ability to ______.A. provide a variety of project for employeesB. help raise employee's living standardsC. give employees specific instructionsD. deal wisely with employees' emotions第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）阅读短文，从短文后的ABCDE五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Glancing up, he saw a large wasp nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can became more likely to sting in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and theafter-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike, trying to call the mini-bus centre, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock. Just then he reached for the radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.26. It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when_______.A. there are huge noisesB. strangers are getting very nearC. the air is filled with food smellD. the hottest season comes around27. Allen didn't know that if stung by wasps again, he would___________.A. have no after-effectsB. suffer from sharper painC. lose his lifeD. became much weaker28. Allen failed at the first time when he tried to send his message to the mini-bus centerbecause__________.A. he was unable to speak clearlyB. his radio equipment was poorC. he was in a state of shockD. no one was on duty29. Which of the following is NOT true according the story?A. Allen drove to the fire station because he knew there was a rescue team there.B. Allen managed to make his request of help clear though he had difficulty talking by then.C. The mini-bus centre did help in that they got the rescue team ready before Allen arrived.D. Allen shouldn’t have looked at the wasps when he helped Mrs. Carey.30. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Allen, a Helpless DriverB. Wasps, Bloody KillersC. A Race against DeathD. War against WaspsB"The world's oceans are slowly getting more acidic,” say scientists. The researchers from California repo rt that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters’ PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by sea water. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change．"This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira. "And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disasters such as asteroid impacts．”However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life．Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest PH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes．Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH.In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming．But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. "Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing-because in releasing CO2into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.”31. The ocean is becoming more acidic due to___________.A. the lower water PH valueB. the warming atmosphereC. the higher level of CO2in the airD. the increasing use of oil fuels32. According to Dr Caldeira,__________ .A. ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thingB. more oil fuels will be used in the near futureC. scientists may predict climate changes with computer modelsD. the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious33. If the water's acidity level keeps rising,_________ .A. ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affectedB. the waters’ PH value will become higher and higherC. organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to PH changesD. some disasters will occur more often than before34. What does the underlined word “acidic” probably mean?A.污染的B.酸的C.复杂的D.温暖的35. The purpose of this passage is to_________ .A. show people the findings of a research teamB. inform people of how acid the ocean is nowC. introduce Dr Caldeira and his team's researchD. warn people of the higher acidity level in the seaCJames Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.“J. C.,” he replied.She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down the stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set fo r Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”36. Owens got his other name when __________.A. he went to Ohio State UniversityB. his teacher made fun of himC. his teacher took “J. C.” for “Jesse”D. he won gold medals in the Games37．In the Big Ten meet, Owens _________.A. hurt himself in the backB. was weak but determined to winC. tried every sports event but failedD. had to give up some events38．Owens received no telephone calls from the president because _________.A. he was not of the right raceB. he was the son of a poor farmerC. he didn’t shake hands with HitlerD. he refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up39.

From then on, so my injured sightless, cloudy gray eye lived on with me.Sometimes people asked me embarrassing questions. When kids played games, I was always the “monster”. I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me.Yet Mom would say to me, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I began to rely on that saying.As a child, I thought mum meant, “Be careful or you will fall down o r bump into something because you are not looking.” As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance.”My mom’s love was the spark that gave me confidence. I had faced hardships, and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion (同情) for others.“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. I say it to my children. The gift my mom gave me lives on.26. The word carefree in the first line probably means “__________” in Chinese.A.无忧无虑的B. 无拘无束的C. 小心翼翼的D. 与众不同的27.

The passage is mainly about__________.A. what the writer experienced when she was 15.B. what the writer did to show th anks for mum’s gift.C. how the writer changed herself with mum’s love.D. the writer has become confident with her great efforts.BThere are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one．It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs.According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.31. The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us __________.A. a red box is heavier than a white oneB. a color has weight in one’s mindC. white paper is lighter than red paperD. you can know the weight of a color by holding it32. Why did the scientist say colors have smell?A. Because people can sense the light from colors.B. Because we can smell colors with our nose.C. Because every color has its own sweet smell.D. Because every color can give off light of the same length.33. If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will __________.A. riseB. fallC. stay the sameD. change now and then34. It can be implied from the text that __________.A. colors have orders in weightB. colors can change the weight of an objectC. people would stay longer in a room with red windowsD. colors can affect our mood and health35.

2016年广州市高三第一次模拟考试英语第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)A1. Who is organizing the Festival of Books?A. Book TV.B. The Los Angeles Times.C. Natural History Museum.D. Los Angeles Public Library.2. How are the best book prizes chosen?A. By a group of experts.B. By a vote of the authors,C. By the reading public.D. By festival sponsors.3. What is true about tickets to the festival?A. They are only for published authors.B. They include transport to each event.C. They can only be applied for onlineD. They can be purchased at the event location.In 1800, only three percent of the world's population lived in cities. Only one city —Beijing —had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150 million people lived in cities, and the world’s ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point —more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species.In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively —crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization (城市化) is good news, offering solutions to the problems of Earth’s growing population.Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people”reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages.Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land. This leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.So it’s a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it’s a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth.4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The history of modern cities.B. Changes taking place within cities.C. How cities have grown over time.D. Why modern cities are changing.5. How have experts’attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths.B. They no longer see city-riving as attractive.C. They accept city life in spite of its problems.D. They think city-riving provides more benefits.6. Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with?A. Cities provide more economic opportunities.B. City people get along better with each other.C. Over-crowded cities result in problems.D. Cities limit the flow of ideas.7. According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities?A. Economic production would be reduced.B. There would be less farmland available.C. People would travel less frequently.D. House values would fall greatly.It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socialising with “the enemy”along two-thirds of the Western Front.German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.”It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.8. The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because ________.A. they couldn't bear the meaningless killingB. it was the best way to avoid being killedC. they feared that they would be caughtD. their enemies were from similar backgrounds9. How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’socialising?A. They sent the soldiers’loved ones to prison.B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.10. The underlined word “stunned”in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.A. satisfiedB. shockedC. amusedD. confused11. The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.A. are not trustworthy under stressB. are naturally aggressive and war-likeC. are basically caring and kindheartedD. will always do what is in their own self-interestDEarlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organisations —including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC—to place news stories directly into users’personal Facebook webpage. Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn —at least for now. Thedeal shows how important social, media has become to news organisations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing —and has been for a while.When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo!have been punishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports —areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn’t their primary function —so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.There’s also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article —at least for daily news —I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.12.

A1. Who is organizing the Festival of Books?A. Book TV.B. The Los Angeles Times.C. Natural History Museum.D. Los Angeles Public Library.2. How are the best book prizes chosen?A. By a group of experts.B. By a vote of the authors,C. By the reading public.D. By festival sponsors.3. What is true about tickets to the festival?A. They are only for published authors.B. They include transport to each event.C. They can only be applied for onlineD. They can be purchased at the event location.BIn 1800, only three percent of the world's population lived in cities. Only one city —Beijing —had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150 million people lived in cities, and the world’s ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point —more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species.In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively —crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization (城市化) is good news, offeri ng solutions to the problems of Earth’s growing population.Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people”reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages.Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land. This leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.So it’s a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it’s a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth.4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The history of modern cities.B. Changes taking place within cities.C. How cities have grown over time.D. Why modern cities are changing.5. How have experts’ attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths.B. They no longer see city-riving as attractive.C. They accept city life in spite of its problems.D. They think city-riving provides more benefits.6. Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with?A. Cities provide more economic opportunities.B. City people get along better with each other.C. Over-crowded cities result in problems.D. Cities limit the flow of ideas.7. According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities?A. Economic production would be reduced.B. There would be less farmland available.C. People would travel less frequently.D. House values would fall greatly.CIt was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started social ising with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front.German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.8. The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because ________.A. they couldn't bear the meaningless killingB. it was the best way to avoid being killedC. they feared that they would be caughtD. their enemies were from similar backgrounds9. How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’ socialising?A. They sent the soldiers’ loved ones to prison.B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.10. The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.A. satisfiedB. shockedC. amusedD. confused11. The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.A. are not trustworthy under stressB. are naturally aggressive and war-likeC. are basically caring and kindheartedD. will always do what is in their own self-interestDEarlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organisations —including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC—to place news stories directly int o users’ personal Facebook webpage.

A game of catch is simply two people throwing a ball back and forth （来回地）. It seems a little and many people may not be interested in it. The two people are close enough to talk, but too far to touch. They might have baseball gloves, or they might use their hands. In fact, playing catch is part of practice —to make you get used to using a ball and glove. But any American kid will teach you it’s much more than that. Playing catch is a time fo r kids to with your father. It’s a time when there’s to worry about except catching a ball. It’s a time when words move as seamlessly （准确不误地） as the ball itself, back and forth, easy and relaxing. It’s an excuse to time together.Because baseball is an American sport, and a big part of being American, playing catch is kind of an all-American dad activity. In the suburbs （郊区）, most people have backyards — not enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of catch. Those who have试卷第2页，共12页no can play in the street or in the park.When adults are asked to talk about the good of their dads, many of them will say something about playing catch. Why? Probably because dads are usually very . A catch game is a time that is only for one thing. This is a time when a kid has her dad's . There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you. For the time that it takes to play a game of catch, your dad is all yours.1、A ．interesting B ．boring C ．amazing D ．exciting2、A ．basketball B ．baseball C ．football D ．volleyball3、A ．fight B ．compare C ．have D ．be4、A ．nothing B ．something C ．everything D ．anything5、A ．waste B ．save C ．spend D ．forget6、A ．small B ．large C ．clean D ．tidy7、A ．time B ．money C ．yards D ．friends8、A ．jobs B ．achievement C ．education D ．memories 9、A ．busy B ．brave C ．strict D ．kind 10、A ．help B ．worry C ．courage D ．attentionI had never noticed her. She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention. She was not tall looked ordinary. In class, she liked sitting at the back, reading or writing notes. One day I asked her aloud the text. When I heard her standard （标准）American English, I looked at her with new eyes. And I remembered her name —Kelly. Later on, the National College Speech Competition would be held. One student in our school to attend. I thought it over and filled in her name. Kelly practised for the competition. However, I was a little worried she was always too quiet. Could she really well in the competition?the night of the competition, I sat in the front row of the hall very early. I told her to take it easy. Her face turned red and she said nothing. seemed that she was really nervous. I felt upset, but I just patted her on shoulder and let her go to draw lots （抽签）. As a result, she drew No. 9 while No. 8 was a boy who was very good at giving speeches. Sure enough, No. 8 was very .The whole audience made a warm applause.While they about his speech with excitement, Kelly appeared on the stage. I with no courage to look at her. It was her time to go up the stage, so I couldn’t be angry with her for any small mistakes. But at that moment, I found I was so afraid of her failure （失败）.The strong spotlight and large hall made so small that nobody seemed to notice she had been on the stage. I felt hopeless.But the moment that surprised me came. I clearly heard a voice, a very loud voice, ―Now, please focus on me.‖Three times in all, louder and louder. The whole audience fell silent.I could hardly believe that loud voice came from the girl, who was usually soft-voiced and didn’t catch attention at all. She gave a perfect speec h.I think I will never forget this touching lesson my student taught me — never underestimate （低估）the power of the silent people.11、A ．or B ．but C ．as well D ．and12、A ．read B ．reading C ．to read D ．to reading 13、A ．allow B ．allowed C ．was allowed D ．allows 14、A ．hard B ．hardly C ．harder D ．hardest 15、A ．though B ．because C ．when D ．if 16、A ．did B ．be done C ．do D ．doing 17、A ．In B ．At C ．By D ．on 18、A ．That B ．This C ．It's D ．It 19、A ．an B ．a C ．不填 D ．the20、A ．success B ．successful C ．succeed D ．successfully 21、A ．talked B ．would talk C ．as well D ．were talking 22、A ．one B ．the one C ．first D ．the first 23、A ．when B ．that C ．why D ．what 24、A ．she B ．her C ．herself D ．hers 25、A ．which B ．whose C ．what D ．who二、阅读理解（题型注释）Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember the number of your credit card when you want to use a machine or take money out试卷第4页，共12页of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition （眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.Eye-recognition is a course of recognizing iris （虹膜）, which includes the following steps. First, a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one’s iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out money, this machine will have iris feature extraction （采集）. Then, this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will be identified, and he will take out the money from the bank successfully.However, scientists are also working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, and don’t get dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. So the eye -recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct now. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye. So smile! 26、The program has been tested in shops and banks in .A ．America and ChinaB ．Spain and JapanC ．Britain and TurkeyD ．Italy and German 27、According to the steps in Paragraph 3, which picture shows how the eye recognition happens?28、According to Paragraph 4, for now, machines can identify people by .A．fingers and smell B．face and voiceC．voice and finger D．hand and face29、What does Paragraph 4 also talk about?A．Other kinds of systems to identify people.B．Some special things of other programmes.C．The places where other programmes are tested.D．Some old machines used to identify people.30、Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．All the eye-recognition programs can be up to 94% correct.B．In Britain, 91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye recognition. C．Everyone’s eyes are different, even twins have different eyes.D．Some other programs used to be 51% correct.The following are some tips for becoming a successful businessman by Michael Bloomberg. They are based on his experience of building a company from the ground up, leading New York City as mayor（市长）, and so on.Take RisksLife is too short to spend your time avoiding failure.In 1981, at the age of 39, I lost my job. The next day I took a big risk and began my own company. In 2001, when I was debating whether to run for mayor, most people advised me not to do it. But one person said, ―If you can imagine yourself giving a concession（败选）speech, then why not go f or it?‖ That was the best advice I received, and I followed it.In order to succeed, you must first be willing to fail— and you must have the courage to go for试卷第6页，共12页it anyway.Make your own luckLuck plays a part in success. The harder you work, the luckier you get.Whatever you choose to do, even if it’s not the job of your dreams, always work hard at it. Be the first person at work in the morning and the last to leave at night. Hard work creates chances. Never stop learningThe most powerful word in English language is ―why‖. There is nothing so powerful as an open, inquiring mind （探究精神）. Whatever field you choose for starting a business — be a lifelong student. Give backYou are responsible for your success and failure, but you only succeed if you share the reward with others.My first donation was a $ 5 check to my alma mater （母校） . And while the checks （支票）may be bigger today, they come with the same spirit.You don’t have to be wealthy to give back. You can give back by giving your time and talents. 31、In this passage, Michael Bloomberg is the name of a .

A1. Who is organizing the Festival of Books?A. Book TV.B. The Los Angeles Times.C. Natural History Museum.D. Los Angeles Public Library.2. How are the best book prizes chosen?A. By a group of experts.B. By a vote of the authors,C. By the reading public.D. By festival sponsors.3. What is true about tickets to the festival?A. They are only for published authors.B. They include transport to each event.C. They can only be applied for onlineD. They can be purchased at the event location.BIn 1800, only three percent of the world's population lived in cities. Only one city —Beijing —had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150 million people lived in cities, and the world’s ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point —more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species.In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively —crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization (城市化) is good news, offering solutions to the problems of Earth’s growing population.Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people”reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages.Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities helpthe environment because they allow haft of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land. This leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.So it’s a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it’s a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth.4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The history of modern cities.B. Changes taking place within cities.C. How cities have grown over time.D. Why modern cities are changing.5. How have experts’attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths.B. They no longer see city-riving as attractive.C. They accept city life in spite of its problems.D. They think city-riving provides more benefits.6. Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with?A. Cities provide more economic opportunities.B. City people get along better with each other.C. Over-crowded cities result in problems.D. Cities limit the flow of ideas.7. According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities?A. Economic production would be reduced.B. There would be less farmland available.C. People would travel less frequently.D. House values would fall greatly.CIt was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socialising with “the enemy”along two-thirds of the Western Front.German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.”It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.8. The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because ________.A. they couldn't bear the meaningless killingB. it was the best way to avoid being killedC. they feared that they would be caughtD. their enemies were from similar backgrounds9. How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’socialising?A. They sent the soldiers’loved ones to prison.B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.10. The underlined word “stunned”in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.A. satisfiedB. shockedC. amusedD. confused11. The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.A. are not trustworthy under stressB. are naturally aggressive and war-likeC. are basically caring and kindheartedD. will always do what is in their own self-interestDEarlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organisations —including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC —to place news stories directly into users’personal Facebook webpage. Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn —at least for now. The deal shows how important social, media has become to news organisations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing —and has been for a while.When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo! have been punishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports —areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data. Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn’t their primary function —so if it stopsmaking them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.There’s also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article —at least for daily news —I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.12. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook..B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.D. To describe the process of online news reporting.13. Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________.A. these are the most popular topics for online readersB. there are fewer journalists specialising in these areasC. information on these topics is more easily availableD. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas14. What does the underlined word “It”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Journalism.B. Advertising.C. Facebook.D. Business.15. In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?A. The information presented is up-to-date.B. The author's opinion is clear.C.

After much discussion, they came up with a plan. They decided to act like fools because they believed no one would stay in a place of fools.The day finally came. In the street, the king saw a man riding a donkey. The man had a heavy bag on his own shoulders, and looked rather tired. The king approached the man and asked, “Why don’t you just put the bag on your donkey’s back?”“It’s bad enough that she has to carry me,” replied the man, “so I decide to lighten her burden by carrying the bag myself.

some tips for becoming a successful businessman by Michael Bloomberg．They are based on his experience of building a company from the ground up，leading New York City as mayor（市长），and so on．Take RisksLife is too short to spend your time avoiding failure．In 1981，at the age of 39，I lost my job．The next day I took a big risk and began my own company．In 2001，when I was debating whether to run for mayor，most people advised me not to do it．But one person said，"If you can imagine yourself giving a concession（败选）speech，then why not go for it？"That was the best advice I received，and I followed it．In order to succeed，you must first be willing to fail﹣and you must have the courage to go for it anyway．Make your own luckLuck plays a part in success．The harder you work，the luckier you get．Whatever you choose to do，even if it's not the job of your dreams，always work hard at it．Be the first person at work in the morning and the last to leave at night．Hard work creates chances．Never stop learningThe most powerful word in English language is"why"．There is nothing so powerfulas an open，inquiring mind（探究精神）．Whatever field you choose for starting a business﹣be a lifelong student．Give backYou are responsible for your success and failure，but you only succeed if you share the reward with others．My first donation was a 5check to my alma mater （母校）．And while the checks（支票）may be bigger today，they come with the same spirit．You don't have to be wealthy to give back．You can give back by giving your time and talents．36．In this passage，Michael Bloomberg is the name of a．A．newspaperB．placeC．companyD．person37．What did the writer do at the age of 59？A．Lost his job．B．Ran for mayor．C．Built a company．D．Became a teacher．38．From the passage，we can infer that the

too old to learn．C．Money is everything．D．Luck comes from hard work．40．In which of the following columns（栏目）can you find the article？A．Family LifeB．Interesting StoriesC．Experience SharingD．Adventures．41．Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes!The program works because everyone's eyes are different．So in the future you won't have to remember the number of your credit card when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank．You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are．The eye﹣recognition（眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA，Britain，Spain，Italy and Turkey．Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are．Eye﹣recognition is a course of recognizing iris（虹膜），which includes the following steps．First，a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one's iris from his eyes and store them．Second，when this person goes to the bank to take out money，this machine will have iris feature extraction（采集）．Then，this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction．Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same，this person will be identified，and he will take out the money from the bank successfully．However，scientists are also working on other systems．Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell!We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger．Eye﹣recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change as you get older，and don't get dirty like hands or fingers，and even twins have different eyes．So the eye﹣recognition program can be up to 94% correct，depending on how good the technology is．However，some other programs may only be 51% correct now．In Britain，it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea ofeye﹣recognition．In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye．So smile!41．The program has been tested in shops and banks in．A．America and ChinaB．Spain and JapanC．Britain and TurkeyD．Italy and German42．According to the steps in Paragraph 3，which picture shows how the eye recognition happens？43．According to Paragraph 4，for now，machines can identify people by．A．fingers and smellB．face and voiceC．voice and fingerD．hand and face44．What does Paragraph 4also talk about？A．Other kinds of systems to identify people．B．Some special things of other programmes．C．The places where other programmes are tested．D．Some old machines used to identify people．45．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．All the eye﹣recognition programs can be up to 94% correct．B．In Britain，91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye recognition．C．Everyone's eyes are different，even twins have different eyes．D．Some other programs used to be 51% correct．第二节阅读填空（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．46．March 20th is World Water Day every year．According to a report from the United Nations，more than half of the world's major

Only one city —Beijing —had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150 million people lived in cities, and the world’s ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point —more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species.In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively —crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization (城市化) is good news, offeri ng solutions to the problems of Earth’s growing population.Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people”reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages.Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land. This leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.So it’s a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it’s a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth.4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The history of modern cities.B. Changes taking place within cities.C. How cities have grown over time.D. Why modern cities are changing.5. How have experts’ attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths.B. They no longer see city-riving as attractive.C. They accept city life in spite of its problems.D. They think city-riving provides more benefits.6. Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with?A. Cities provide more economic opportunities.B. City people get along better with each other.C. Over-crowded cities result in problems.D. Cities limit the flow of ideas.7. According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities?A. Economic production would be reduced.B. There would be less farmland available.C. People would travel less frequently.D. House values would fall greatly.CIt was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started social ising with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front.German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.8. The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because ________.A. they couldn't bear the meaningless killingB. it was the best way to avoid being killedC. they feared that they would be caughtD. their enemies were from similar backgrounds9. How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’ socialising?A. They sent the soldiers’ loved ones to prison.B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.10. The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.A. satisfiedB. shockedC. amusedD. confused11. The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.A. are not trustworthy under stressB. are naturally aggressive and war-likeC. are basically caring and kindheartedD. will always do what is in their own self-interestDEarlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organisations —including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC—to place news stories directly int o users’ personal Facebook webpage. Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn—at least for now. The deal shows how important social, media has become to news organisations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing —and has been for a while.When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo!have been punishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports —areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn’t their primary function —so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.There’s also a co ncern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article —at least for daily news —I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.12. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook..B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.D. To describe the process of online news reporting.13. Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________.A. these are the most popular topics for online readersB. there are fewer journalists specialising in these areasC. information on these topics is more easily availableD. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas14. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Journalism.B. Advertising.C. Facebook.D. Business.15. In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?A. The information presented is up-to-date.B. The author's opinion is clear.C. Different views on the topic are presented.D. The language used is vivid.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分l0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。
