Often people talk about bad __47__they still have about being unprepared for a(n) __48__ test. Others say that being picked on and not being __49__ for a team are still terrible memories for them.

On the Internet.CWhen a dog loses a leg, the animal eventually figures out the best way to get around on three legs. In a short time, the dog learns to deal with its physical disability.Now, scientists have developed robots that behave in much the same way.We can find robots everywhere. Robots build cars, play chess and can clean your house. They may someday drive your car, too.Two robots, named Spirit and Opportunity, were sent to Mars on a mission to explore the red planet.Jeff Clune is a computer scientist with the University of Wyoming. He says robots also help people in natural disasters.Robots are deployed in search and rescue operations following an earthquake. They may someday also be used to examine the wreckage of a nuclear accident, like the one in Fukushima, Japan.Mr. Clune says robots can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.“The problem is that all of those types of situations and environment are extremely unpredictable and dangerous. And it is very likely that robots and humans in those situations become damaged.”He and other scientists are developing technology so that robots will continue operating after the first sign of injury. They want the machines to have the ability to make changes and continue performing until they can be repaired.Mr. Clune and researchers in France have added one more operation to the skill set of robots working under difficult conditions. They say they programmed a hexapod robot, one with six legs, and a robotic arm to learn how to deal with injury. Their findings were reported in the journal “Nature”.Mr. Clune said that once the robots become damaged, they use their intuition and knowledge of how their body works to find a way to deal with the damage.He says the robots are also programmed with child-like curiosity. In other words, they are always asking questions and looking for answers. The whole process takes about a minute for the robots to find a way to overcome damage.66. At the beginning of the passage, the writer mentions dogs to __________.A. provide examples of how animals deal with unexpected injuryB. show how scientists get inspiration from dogs to develop technologyC. introduce the topic in a more attractive wayD. suggest that scientists shouldn’t ignore the similarity between dogs and robots.67. According to the passage, nowadays robots can’t __________.A. play chess or clean the houseB. be sent on a mission to explore on the MarsC. help people in search and rescue operations following an earthquakeD. examine the wreckage of a nuclear accident68. Why are Mr.Clune and other scientists devoted to developing the technology?A. They want to succeed in programming robots with child-like curiosity.B. They expect to enable robots to continue working despite injury under difficult conditions.C. They intend to make robots which can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.D. They are determined to design a more powerful robot for Mars exploration.69. Now scientists have developed robots that, once damaged, can __________.A. rely on their functions to figure out a way to handle the emergency.B. figure out the best way to get around in a short timeC. spend about a second finding a way to overcome damageD. maintain their child-like curiosity and keep asking people around for solutionsDSuppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels ofcommunity service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can s hift people’s wish of participation from an internal (内在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external (外在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to conc rete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.32. People volunteer mainly out of ______ .A. academic requirementsB. social expectationsC. financial rewardsD. internal needs33. What can we learn from the Florida study?A. Follow-up studies should last for one year.B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared.C. Strategy training is a must in research.D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.34. What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?A. Individual differences in role identity.B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.C. Role identity as a volunteer.D. Practical advice from researchers.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. How to Get People to VolunteerB. How to Study Volunteer BehaviorsC. How to Keep Volunteers’ InterestD. How to Organize Volunteer Activities第二节（七选五共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache.I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day later,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars lessthan I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually,this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it,I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this technique would not work,and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist,and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.37.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.38.Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off”in Paragraph 1?A.ended all their programsB.provided fewer channelsC.changed to commercialsD.showed all-night movies39.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. By having it repaired.40. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD.

He hit several cones and at least one doll．Debbie Pickford from the Allstate Insurance Company said, "Teens are especially at risk from distracted driving—and not just because they lack experience on the roads．What we know from research on teen brain development, is that teens don't really have fully developed brains until they are twenty-five years old. You put those two things together and you get a much, much higher risk.”59. According to the passage, _____is the most likely to lead to a traffic accident while you are driving．A. talking on the mobile phoneB. reaching for a cell phone．C. texting on the mobile phoneD. bringing along a cell phone60.

The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about ____．A. measures to be takenB. teen brain developmentC. experience on the roadsD. much higher risk62. Of all the following, which is the best title for the passage?A. Car Crashes —the Top Killer.B. Drunken Driving — Dangerous Enough！C. Distracted Driving —Let's Avoid!D. Tips on Driving While CallingDExcused from recycling because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute? You won’t be long. Miami’s Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.In Shantzis’s Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal and other rubbish to go into separate boxes.The system is controlled from a board fixed next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other chute doors and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the non-recyclables.Sorting recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective.32. The purpose in writing this text is ______.A. to introduce a recycling system for high risesB. to encourage people to recycle their rubbishC. to describe the use of computer technology in recyclingD. to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises33. When he says, “You won’t be long.”, the writer means that ______.A. you’ll soon be living in a cleaner buildingB. rubbish chutes will become out of date before longC. it won’t be long before you have to recycle your rubbishD. you won’t wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish34. Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ______.A. lock the other floors’ chute doorsB. press the correct buttonC. check if the container is fullD. break up the rubbish35. The biggest advantage of this new system is that ______.A. it makes better use of the existing recovery equipmentB. it saves time and spaceC. it saves money for people living in high risesD. it reduces the cost of recycling第二节（七选五共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside said. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hope. The cupboards in her kitchen were full of things which she did not need. It's no use her husband trying to stop her. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would come to her and said: "Madam, this is your lucky day. Everything in your basket is free."One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She ran back to the supermarket, got the tea and went to pay for it. As she did so, she saw the manager come up to her. "Madam," he said, holding out his hand, "I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free."。

AA machine that takes sweat-laden clothes and turns the moisture into drinking water is in u se in . The device spins and heats the material to remove the sweat, and then passes the vapor through a special membran e(膜) designed to only let water molecules（分子） get through.Since its Monday launch, its creators say more than 1,000 pe ople have “drunk others’ sweat" in Gothenburg. They add the l iquid is cleaner than local tap water.The device was built for the United Nation's child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting t he fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clea n water.The machine was designed and built by engineer Andreas Ha mmar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show M ekatronik. He said the critical part of the sweat machine was a new water purification component developed by a company n amed HVR in collaboration with 's Royal Institute of Technolo gy."It uses a technique called membrane distillation(膜蒸馏)," he told the BBC."We use a substance that's a bit like Gor tex that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clot hing fibers and other substances out."They have something si milar on the International Space Station to treat astronaut's uri ne - but our machine was cheaper to build. Volunteers have b een sampling the treated sweat since the start of the week in Gothenburg .“The amount of water it produces depends on ho w sweaty the person is - but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10ml , roughly a mouthful."The equipment has been put on show at the Gothia Cup - the world's largest international youth football tournament. Mattias Ronge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo - which organized the stu nt(惊人的表演) - said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICE F, but in reality had its limitations."People haven't produced as much sweat as we hoped - right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy," he said."So we've in stalled exercise bikes alongside the machine and volunteers a re cycling like crazy."Even so, the demand for sweat is greate r than the supply. And the machine will never be mass produc ed - there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills."24.Which of the following is the disadvantage of the machine? _______.A. The water processed by the machine is cleaner than local t ap water .B. The amount of water the machine produces is too small.C.The machine is cheaper than the similar one on the Internat ional Space StationD. The machine can help raise awareness of lacking water in the world .25.What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph ?A. How the machine works.B. Who developed the machine.C. How the machine was invented.D. Why the machine was invented..26.What does Mattias Ronge think of the machine?____A. The machine can solve the severe water shortage in the w orld.B. People do not like the water the machine processesC. The machine should be used in rather hot areas in summer .D. The machine is not worth popularizing.BAs you move around your home, take a good look at the thin gs you have. It is likely that your living room will have a televis ion set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with al most three times as many clothes as yon need. You almost c ertainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abr oad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week. Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material succe ss is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes.

They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs , leavi ng their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn't get home until eight or nin e o'clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but be gan to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of . "I always wa nted to have a farm hen," says Daniel, "and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It's taken some gettin g used to, but it's been worth it. We have to think twice now a bout spending money on car repairs and we no longer have a ny holidays. However, I think it's made us stronger as a family , and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. "I used to enjoy my job, even t hough it was hard work and long hours. I'm not really a countr y girl, but I suppose I'm gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to dothe same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all."74. What do the first two paragraphs tell us?A.

Now we enter the first floor apartment w here Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They m ade fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”. Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a rep orter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband br ought her books to read from the library.

2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题(一)配答案
2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练—英语试题（一）配答案AWhen Josephine Cooper was growing up，she learned the importance of charity from her parents．Although they made a modest living for their family of 10，they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate．Half a century later，Mrs. Cooper became a beloved volunteer at the San Diego Food Bank，where she devoted herself to helping others．She organized and ran a distribution center from a church，helping it become the organization’s largest emergency food distribution center in San Diego．She was one of 25 outstanding senior volunteers in the nation selected and invited to Washington D．C．to receive the award．―She was the main person who helped us make that program grow,‖ said Mike Doody，former director of the Food Bank．―She had a way of g etting people to work together and to work hard．She was determined and stubborn，but in a good way．She had a good heart．‖ People knew her as ―Grandma‖ because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families．―She reminded people of their Grandma.‖ Doody said．As a widow with a young child in 1979，Mrs．Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the Food Bank provided her with groceries．―She dedicated her life to giving back,‖ said her daughter，Monica Cooper．It wasn’t unusual for a local church to call Mrs Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family．―She would give people food out of her cupboard．Sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living out of their car,‖ Cooper said．Although Mrs Cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work，she said being able to help others was her reward．She died of liver disease and kidney failure，aged 93．1．The underlined word ―charity‖ in Paragraph 1 refers to ．A．offering help B．donating money C．providing services D. showing sympathy2．Which of the following is true of Mrs. Cooper?A．She died at an early age B．She refused the national award．C．She was kind and devoted．D．She was not easy to get along with．3．Mrs Cooper’s story suggests that ．A．everyone needs a Grandma nearby B．children are what their parents areC．a sound mind is in a sound body D．a mother’s love never changesBThose who have suffered from insomnia know the sinking feeling of watching the clock tick．Now a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actually contribute to the problem of sleeplessness．The study of 79 adults（average age 72）with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavioral interventions for insomnia would help．Traditional behavioral therapy （疗法）requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist — a costly commitment many patients either can't make or don't have access to．Other options include sleep-aiding medications or supplements．In the current study，the 39 participants in the behavioral therapy group received a 45-to-60-minute instructing session，plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two 20-minute phone calls．Doctors offered the following behavioral interventions for improving sleep: reduce time in bed; get up at the same time every day，regardless of sleep duration; don't go to bed unless sleepy; and don't stay in bed unless asleep．The other 40 participants in the study were given printed educational materials about insomnia，which included the same instructions given to the intervention group，but without the individualized sessions with a therapist．Two weeks later，the latter group also got a 10-minute follow-up phone call．At the end of four weeks，the behavioral treatment group was significantly more likely to show improvements in sleep than the printed-materials group．By that time，55% of those who received behavioral treatment no longer met the criteria for insomnia，compared with 13% of the group that got educational brochures．The good news comes at the same time as a report on the health effects of insomnia from the U.K.’s Mental Health Foundation．The report，Sleep Matters，suggests a link between insomnia and poor relationships，low energy levels and an inability to concentrate．Poor sleep has already been linked to depression，immune deficiency and heart disease．4．What is the meaning of the underlined word ― insomnia‖?A．sleeplessness B．depressionC．heart disease D．immune deficiency5．What is the disadvantage of traditional behavioral therapy?A．It can’t help．B．It costs a lot of money．C．It requires sessions with a therapist．D．It includes sleep-aiding medications．6．How to improve sleep according to the doctor?A．Lying in bed awake．B．Get up early every day．C．Don’t go t o bed late at night．D．Don’t stay in bed if you are not asleep．7．We can learn from the text that insomnia may cause the following results except_____．A．depression B．concentration C．immune deficiency D．heart diseaseCDhaka's pedal-powered tricycles (脚踏三轮车) may not appear high-tech but they keep the commuters moving and do no damage to the environment.Travel, they say, broadens your mind. I am not sure if it really does but it is certainly an experience in itself. Just like the food, the public transport is also an experience. Dhaka streets are full of carbon emitting buses and trucks and noisy cars.Traffic jams are a part of daily life in Dhaka. Residents say vehicle-related pollution has been more and more serious over the last few years. Perhaps to ease the situation, some of the many non-profit non-government organizations –and the civil society ought to launch a ―Save the Capital campaign‖.It is true that in Dhaka at any hour of the day and in many areas, there are always crowds of people going somewhere –or just waiting for something to happen. One thing is sure: You will never feel lonely!One form of transport which is extremely popular, widely available, cheap, private and eco-friendly is a three-wheeled invention called rickshaw(人力车). The most interesting feature of these slow-moving pedal-powered transport is the bright and colourful ―moving art‖ which decorates their side and back. The drawings range from romance to the wildest flights of fantasy. The scenes are common: airplanes, helicopters, and gun-battles, masked men in sports cars, rosy cheeked well-endowed women, palatial mansions, rivers and green landscape.When you hire a rickshaw, make yourself ―comfortable‖ and tell the driver your destination, you have then become a part of the moving art exhibition. The rickshaws are decorated in vivid colors, from front to back.We cannot deny that the rickshaw art however modest it may be reaches millions everyday –something only dreamt of by the likes of Picasso, Van Gogh, Turner or Monet.While at the local level the rickshaws provide a readily available cheap means of transport and a way out of the crowded Dhaka streets, on a broader and international level the rickshaws are contributing to help bring down the city’s pollution levels and ease global warming.8. The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________.A. explanationB. introductionC. commentD. background9. According to the passage, the writer agrees that ________.A. we can broaden our mind when travelingB. traffic jams is the most serious problem in DhakaC. we can experience public transport when travelingD. Dhaka is the most famous travel destination10. It is true that in Dhaka ________.A. there are still not enough rickshawsB. it is a little expensive to hire a rickshawC. rickshaws are very popular and eco-friendlyD. rickshaws are decorated with the drawings of famous artists11. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. the writer thinks highly of rickshawsB. rickshaws will be popular all over the world soonC. the drawings on the rickshaws covers limited topics.D. the government has launched a ―Save the Capital campaign‖12. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To introduce Dhaka to tourists.B. To report recent news in Dhaka .C. To teach tourists how to use rickshaw.D. To provide some traffic information in Dhaka.DThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet .... We are surrounded by the word ―diet‖ everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brains to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale （秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word ―diet‖ in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.13. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ______.A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading peopleD. people are fed up with diet products14. In Paragraph 3, ―gain comes without pain‖ probably means ______.A. losing weight is effortlessB. it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD. diet products are free from calories15. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.A. are over-consumedB. lack basic nutrientsC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much energy七选五：每题二分You think you know your dog．16 She probably recognizes you when she sees you．But can a dog tell by simply looking at you whether you have a happy or an angry expression on your face? Researchers in Austria have taught pet dogs to know the difference.17 When dog owners shout or speak in a strong，sharp voice，dogs often act guilty and quietly move away from the area．Recently，researchers found that dogs can look at our faces，and tell the difference between a smile and a frown．The animals were able to recognize a look of approval from one of disapproval．Researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine performed a series of experiments．18 They showed the dogs two pictures of either the upper or lower half of a person’s face．On one picture，the person looked happy．The other appeared angry．The dogs were then shown images of the eyes or mouths of people they had never seen before．19 Once the dogs learned to recognize which image was happy or angry，they could easily identify the same expressions in pictures of any face．Future studies will try to show whether dogs can learn the meaning of facial expressions．20 The researchers’findings were published in the journal Current Biology．They provide the first solid evidence that humans are not the only species that can read the body language of another species．A．Dogs are very aware of sound．B．Dogs have feelings just as you do．C．But how well does your dog know you?D．They were also shown the left half of the faces used in training．E．Some dogs are very unhappy when they are left alone for a long time．F．They taught dogs to recognize facial expressions．G．For example，whether a frown shows that someone is angry．完形填空：每题1.5 分When I was thirteen, one day my mom told my family that she had to tell us something．So my dad, my brother and I all sat down on the sofa to begin the discussion．You could feel the 21 atmosphere of the room．It was 22 that something was wrong．Then my mom told us that she had been diagnosed with a very serious disease．That was when we all had a moment of 23 and cried．After that my mom started the 24 and had to travel to the hospital every day．After a week, she began to lose her 25 and so she shaved it all off．My mom would always wear bright-colored scarf’s and after a while 26 to buy a wig ．Along with losing her hair she lost all her nails．27 , I had never seen a desperate look in my mom's eye．I remember one day I went with my mom to the hospital．When we were 28 for her to receive the treatment, we kept telling jokes．We both burst out 29 from time to time．Everyone in the waiting room was so 30 , while we were in the middle of the room, chatting 31 .

ADear Alcohol,You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. "I'm so embarrassed," they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit . "I'm sorry," they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. "This won't happen again," they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it's all your fault.I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the painyou've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.Sincerely,Anonymous24. What is the author's purpose in writing to alcohol?A. To introduce Mr. Alcohol to the readers.B. To describe the harm alcohol did to his family.C.

It made him crash into two other cars and took his life.B. It made him drink too much and he had to get his stomach pumped.C. It made him kill two other people when driving.D. It made him get into a car accident and badly injure himself.26. The underlined phrase "were intrigued by" is closest in meaning to ______.A. were familiar withB. were int1`BAlmost five years ago, I announced to my loved ones I was to become a Mrs. Naturally. I then began to wonder about the perfect wedding dress, hoping that it would fit me. Even at the age of 23, I had gone through my share of dieting.I am an emotional eater and I knew that at 5 feet 5 inches tall and 180 pounds, I wasn’t at my healthiest. My mother had been doing Weight Watchers for some time and was rapidly seeing results without starving herself. She shared her books with me and explained the program: estimate your daily target based on your weight and other factors, write down everything you eat and move! The longer I stuck to it the more I noticed a difference in the way I enjoyed food. I soon began to like eating fruits and vegetables for snacks instead of chocolate bars and chips. My mother and I went on walks together and kept each other in check. Unsurprisingly, I lost twenty pounds soon and looked amazing in my wedding dress.I buy healthy foods, replace ice cream and faithfully keep a food journal. I exercised and take evening walks. Because I have a hard time reaching for something healthy by myself, I bought a Weight Watchers cookbook and use it to prepare our meals. I use small plates and bowls to trick myself into believing there is more food than the serving size.It’s been hard to discipline myself not to eat badly. But when I find myself having a desire for strawberries instead of chocolate, I know it’s all worthwhile.21．The author successfully lost twenty pounds ____________．A．by walking and eating less every day B．by only eating fruits and vegetablesC．under her doctor’s direction D．with the help of her mother22．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．How to prepare healthy food．B．The ways of eating less food．C．The role exercise plays in keeping fit．D．What the author does to keep healthy．23．We know from the last paragraph that the author ____________．A．likes strawberries mostB．has formed healthy eating habitsC．can’t resist chocolateD．finds keeping a healthy diet easyCJust three days after hitting the screen across China, the Chinese animation (动画) film “Monkey King: Hero is Back” aroused enthusiasm among audience and ticket sales have exceeded（超过）100 million yuan ($16.11 million).Web celebrities and many fans even posted topics about the film on China’s Twitter-like Weibo, at which heated discussion are sparked.“Monkey King: Hero is Back” is based on the household legend of the Monkey King, but tell s a not-so familiar story. However, it’s still a Chinese style heroic legend and an exciting adventure against evil and darkness in troubled times, according to Lu Wei, the producer.“Monkey King is China’s super hero. It is so popular among Chinese audien ce because they long for and cherish our own superhero,” said Tian Xiaopeng, the director.Some media also put on a lot of comments from foreigners.“He’s never dead, he’s just fallen asleep. We all need a hero to look up to, to give us hope and courage when it is needed. We grew up listening to his tales, his great adventures and heroic deeds. What makes a true hero is not just helping people when one has the power, but having the courage to stand up against the evil even without power. And this is what the film is about. When the hero loses his power and armor, when he is nothing more than an ordinary monkey, what would he do to protect the one he loves? This is also about a group of Chinese dream chasers trying to keep the beacon of hope lit even though being in the most unfavorable situations” from Tumblr.“Though the film was injected with a little bit of Hollywood, its bold and creative story has attracted several Chinese cinema aficionados.” from Yibada.One netizen posted after watching the film: “The film sets a new high-bar for the domestic animation film, when I walked out of the theater, I was crying.”12. According to the director’s opinion, the film is so popular among Chinese audience because_______.A. Chinese audience long for and cherish his own superheroB. the film is based on the household legend of the Monkey KingC. the Chinese need a hero to look up to, to give them hope and courageD. the film was injected with a little bit of Hollywood13. According to the passage, it can be inferred that _________.A. the film is still a Chinese style heroic legendB. the film is well-receivedC. the film tells us the fact that what makes a true hero is to help people when one has the powerD. the film only aroused enthusiasm among Chinese audience14. After watching the film, the netizen mentioned in the last paragraph was _________.A. very sadB. deeply moved C .very crazy D. deeply gloomy15. Why does the writer mention Weibo, Tumblr and Yibada? Because he wants to __________.A. persuade more readers to visit themB. tell readers some information about themC. make them better known to readersD. provide some evidence for readersDDo you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit?If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who f elt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk(长牙). The fourth, who had hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arm around one of the elephant’s legs.The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own exper ience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm（不冷不热的）water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it’s hot !24. What makes people think about simple facts differently ?A. The fact that simple facts differ from one anotherB.The fact that people have different experience in the same simple factC. The fact that people often disagree with one anotherD. The fact that it’s hard to make up one’s mind about simple facts25. The writer’s advice is _______________.A. We should never think about simple factsB. We should never judge something with a one-sided viewC. We should not agree about simple factsD. We must learn from the six blind men26. What do you think of the six blind man?A. They are the examples of those who look on things only from one side.B. They are skilled at exploring different things.C. They are all experts in studying elephant.D. They are the examples of those who always refuse to trust friends.27. After reading the last paragraph, we may think of __________.A. Newton’s lawB. Galileo’s theory of fal ling objectsC. Einstein’s theory of relativityD. Marx’s Theory On Capital (资本)第二节（七选五共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. With all these food together, you will be give n eno ugh en ergy duri ng the day.It is easy to get into bad eating- habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you maynot have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to. But you will find yourself tired in these days and you can not think quickly.Watch ing what you eat will help your body rema in healthy and stron g. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having a good eati ng habit with some exercise is the key to your health.67.

Rice, beancurd, apples, fish and chicken.68. Which of the following is a good eating habit?A . Going to school without any breakfast.B. Finishing your lunch in a very short time.C.

The underlined word “ dairy ” in the second paragraph means _______ .A . the shop that sells milk and butterB . the food made out of cows such as milk and butterC . a farm where cows are keptD . a place where milk products are madeThe term culture now is more used to describe everything from the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team. In its original sense, however, culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group, nation, or empire: its physical environment, history, and traditions, its social rules and economic structure, and its religious beliefs and arts.The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another. It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate. People acquire a culture because they are not born with one. The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods, accented speech, or an outlook on the world over time, therefore, is known as enculturation （文化适应）.Cultures are often identified by their symbols —images that are familiar and coated with meaning. Totem poles （图腾柱） carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes （部落）. In Asia and India, the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor ' s family was allowed to wear. Thus, different cultures may respond to asymbol quite differently. For example, to some a flag may represent pride, historical accomplishments, or ideals; to others, however, it can mean danger or oppression.To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own, the beliefs, behaviors, and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening. A society that ranks all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric （from the Greek ethnos, meaning “ people, ” and kentros, meaning “ center ” ）. A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and, possibly, wrong or evil.All people are ethnocentric to some degree, and some aspects of ethnocentrism, such as national pride, contribute to a well- functioning society. An appreciation for one 'oswn culture, however, does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture. History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together. Extreme ethnocentrism, in contrast, can lead to racism —the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one ' s own race is superior to all others.87. What does the word “ innate ” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Instinctive.B. Developed.C. Believable.D. Cultivated.88. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Different interpretations of a symbol help to distinguish one culture from another.B. An eth nocen tric country ope ns welcomi ng arms to cultures differe nt from its own.C. Culture con sists of some positive features of a racial group, n atio n or empire.D. People from various cultural backgro unds ofte n reach an agreeme nt on some image.89. What can be in ferred from the passage?A. All aspects of eth nocen trism can produce n egative effects on a society.B. Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures.C. Respect and accepta nee of differe nt cultures are a proper cultural attitude.D. Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world.90. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. Culture, the origi n of racial superiorityB. Culture, a faithful mirror of historyC. Culture, the vigour of world developmentD. Culture, a distinctive identity of a nation第二节（七选五共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AThe world’s premier spelling bee ended Thursday in the U．S．for a second year in a row after an in-tense lo-round showdown between two y oung competitors to deal with some of the English language’s most obscure（生僻的）words.Vanya }hlvaShankar，13，and Gokul Venkatachalam，14，together raised the gold trophy（奖杯）in the 88th Scripps National Spelling Bee．Shivashankar，the sister of 2009 champion Kavya Shivashankar，initially gathered confidence as she went easily through such words as cytopoiesis，bouquetiere and thamakau．Venkatachalam，a basketball fan，also managed such tongue-twisters as poblacion，caudillismo and nixtamal．But as their eight fellow finalists failed one by one，the tension grew until they stood alone on stage·When Shivashankar，in the fourteenth round，correctly spelled scherenschnitte，the German一derived （源自德语的）word for artistic paper cutting, official bee pronouncer Jacques Bailly, broke the news to．Venkatachalam . contest，Bailly said，was about to run out of words，and if Venkatachalam spelled his next word correctly，he and his rival（对手）would be declared joint winners一a repeat of last year’s surprise．The winning word came so easily to the eighth-grader from the branch St．Louis，Missouri suburb of Chesterfield that he skipped the bee contestant’s routine of asking for the word’s origin，meaning and usage in a sentence·“N一u一n一a一t一a一k，”the devoted LeBron James fan said，spelling the Inuit-derived word for an icy island as easily as if he was spelling d一。

2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题（十）配答案一、阅读理解：AA GRANDMOTHER, Michelle Riotton, 78, survived after falling down a mountain valley. She set off for a walk alone dressed only in a light jacket and trousers. "I slipped into a valley!" said Mrs. Riotton, who said the fall happened in a deep forest close to her home village.It was warm and sunny when the accident happened, but temperatures dropped to very low when night fell, and it rained. "I wasn’t afraid," said Mrs Riotton. "But I was worried that my children and grandchildren would become too worried about me." Mrs Riotton said she covered herself in leaves when feeling cold, taking very small bites of two biscuits which she had in her pocket and drinking rainwater which fell down her face.She spent six nights before she was found on Saturday. She was lying at the bottom of the valley, which was less than a mile from her home. The search had once been stopped, but Patrice Fossard, one of her neighbors, insisted that the search continue. "There was no way we could give up her, even if deep inside we felt we had little hope of finding her alive," said Mr Fossard. "It was a miracle that Michele was finally found."Mrs Riotton said she would be taking life easier from now on. "Enough is enough!" she said. "No more forests--I don’t want to visit one again."A mountain policeman said walking alone in the mountain was not recommended and that Mrs Riotton should have carried a mobile phone with her. "The mountains are particularly dangerous at this time of year as sunny afternoons can quickly change into cold, wet and stormy evenings," he said. "Anybody walking into the mountains should carry safety equipment and be prepared for any kind of emergency."1.

He asked me to speak to the group. After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn’t even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking.After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speaker, faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.Around one month later, I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation. This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.After delivering is successfully, I became more confident .l said to myself, “If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can n ow speak in front of others too.”I started delivering lectures in my plant, on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills.

Necessity is the mother of invention.CSleeping in a room with too much light has been linked to an increased risk of piling on the pounds, a study shows. A team at the Institute of Cancer Research in London found women had larger waistlines if their bedroom was "light enough to see across" at night. However, they caution there is not enough evidence to advise people to buy thicker curtains or turn off lights.The women were asked to rate the amount of light in their bedrooms at night as: Light enough to read. Light enough to see across the room, but not read. Light enough to see your hand in front of you, but not across the room. Too dark to see your hand or you wear a mask.Prof Anthony Swerdlow told the BBC: "In this very large group of people there is an association between reported light exposure at night and overweight and obesity. But there is not sufficient evidence to know if making your room darker would make any difference to your weight. There might be other explanations for the association, but the findings are intriguing enough to guarantee further scientific investigation."The light is disrupting the body clock, which stems from our evolutionary past when we were active when it was light in the day and resting when it was dark at night. Light alters mood, physical strength and even the way we process food in a 24-hour cycle. Artificial light is known to disrupt the body clock by delaying the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.Prof Derk-Jan Dijk said there would be no harm in trying to make bedrooms darker. He told the BBC: "People in general are not aware of the light present in their bedroom.I think people should assess their bedroom and see how easy it would be to make it darker." Street lights, some alarm clocks and standby lights on electrical equipment such as televisions could light a room, he said. "Overall this study points to the importance of darkness," he concluded.9. The passage mainly tells us_________.A. bright bedrooms link to obesityB. dark bedrooms link to obesityC. people should turn off lightsD. people should buy thicker curtains10. What does the underlined word “disrupt” (Para.4) mean?A. stopB. disturbC. improveD. recover11. What might Paragraph 4 be used for?A. One possible explanation on disrupting body clock.B. One possible explanation on disrupting mood.C. One possible explanation on disrupting physical strength.D. One possible explanation on artificial light.12.What’s Prof Derk-Jan Dijk’s attitude towards the dark room?A. Unclear.B. Doubtful.C. Negative.D. Favorable.DI get off the bus and walk a few blocks. I stop when I get to a garage-like place and walk to the metal door with brown paint. I turn the knob(把手)and walk in. A thousand eyes look at me as I take my place at the end of the long line. When I finally get up to the wind ow, I hand the officer my ID. “I’m here to visit Mr C. Yes, I’m his daughter.”I learn that line by heart. The officer hands me a piece of paper with my name as the visitor and my father’s as the prisoner. It tells me which floor to go to. As I get on the elevator, a rush of excitement runs through me. Then I go to the eighth floor, look around and see the faces I see here every Sunday and Thursday.There he is. I stand on tiptoe(脚尖)to get a better view since I can hardly see him. He doesn’t look like my father. He’s got a beard now and he looks a lot weaker. He’s the dad that I see through a window. My dad who is separated from the world. The only place he now knows is his room in the prison. When I look deep into his eyes, I see emptiness and pain.It’s difficult to hear him through the thick glass and over everyone else who is trying to talk. We try to carry on a normal conversation about simple things including my day and wh at I’m doing in school, but we mostly talk about how we can’t wait until he gets out. After an hour my time is up. We say our good-byes and love-yous.I get on the bus to go home. My favorite place is where my father is—prison. Iknow, how can prison b e anyone’s favorite place? But it is because my father is there. It’ll no longer be my favorite place once he gets out, though—home will be.13: The author goes to the prison_________.A．to talk with the officer B．to visit her fatherC．to get a piece of paper from the officer D．to pay a visit to her favorite place14: It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s father is ____________.

Your interests are expanding. _____16________Here is the challenge：Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that all out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents all not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation--for now. __________17_________ Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening. _____________18___________Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’feelings call disagree without things getting ugly.___________19___________ How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers--they’re interesting people who like to watch movies. And go shopping--just like their teenagers!What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky? ________20___________ You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.A．It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page.B．You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.C．And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.D．Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.E．You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.F．And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.G．You may consider seeking outside help.三、完型填空：My grandmother was always encouraging me to set goals and work hard to achieve them. She would tell me not to be a follower and not to set 21 on what I could achieve. She 22 believed that there were no limits that you could 23 whatever you wanted.I would never forget the following story that she once told me：A farmer won first24 at the country fair for his huge radish (小萝卜)that was the exact shape and 25 of a milk bottle.Many were 26 as to how the farmer was able to grow this radish that was the exact shape of a milk bottle.27 one gentleman went up to the farmer and asked the question. The farmer replied，“It was 28 . I got the seed growing and then I put it into the milk bottle. It had 29 else to go.”You can use this story as an analogy (比喻) to life－our lives are 30 by the kind of surroundings we place ourselves in, the people that we allow to 31 us, and the goals we give ourselves.If we only 32 and take no action, then we get no further. But if we 33 ，set a goal and take action, then our life takes a 34 shape.Goals and actions can help us accomplish more in a year than what some people will accomplish in a lifetime. To prove this 35 ，read the biographies of 36 people and you will see that goals and actions 37 played a big role in their success.Remember the 38 of Mary Kay Ash, who said，“Don't limit yourself. ” Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go 39 your mind lets you.

On the Internet.CWhen a dog loses a leg, the animal eventually figures out the best way to get around on three legs. In a short time, the dog learns to deal with its physical disability.Now, scientists have developed robots that behave in much the same way.We can find robots everywhere. Robots build cars, play chess and can clean your house. They may someday drive your car, too.Two robots, named Spirit and Opportunity, were sent to Mars on a mission to explore the red planet.Jeff Clune is a computer scientist with the University of Wyoming. He says robots also help people in natural disasters.Robots are deployed in search and rescue operations following an earthquake. They may someday also be used to examine the wreckage of a nuclear accident, like the one in Fukushima, Japan.Mr. Clune says robots can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.“The problem is that all of those types of situations and environment are extremely unpredictable and dangerous. And it is very likely that robots and humans in those situations become damaged.”He and other scientists are developing technology so that robots will continue operating after the first sign of injury. They want the machines to have the ability to make changes and continue performing until they can be repaired.Mr. Clune and researchers in France have added one more operation to the skill set of robots working under difficult conditions. They say they programmed a hexapod robot, one with six legs, and a robotic arm to learn how to deal with injury. Their findings were reported in the journal “Nature”.Mr. Clune said that once the robots become damaged, they use their intuition and knowledge of how their body works to find a way to deal with the damage.He says the robots are also programmed with child-like curiosity. In other words, they are always asking questions and looking for answers. The whole process takes about a minute for the robots to find a way to overcome damage.66. At the beginning of the passage, the writer mentions dogs to __________.A. provide examples of how animals deal with unexpected injuryB. show how scientists get inspiration from dogs to develop technologyC. introduce the topic in a more attractive wayD. suggest that scientists shouldn’t ignore the similarity between dogs and robots.67. According to the passage, nowadays robots can’t __________.A. play chess or clean the houseB. be sent on a mission to explore on the MarsC. help people in search and rescue operations following an earthquakeD. examine the wreckage of a nuclear accident68. Why are Mr.Clune and other scientists devoted to developing the technology?A. They want to succeed in programming robots with child-like curiosity.B. They expect to enable robots to continue working despite injury under difficult conditions.C. They intend to make robots which can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.D. They are determined to design a more powerful robot for Mars exploration.69. Now scientists have developed robots that, once damaged, can __________.A. rely on their functions to figure out a way to handle the emergency.B. figure out the best way to get around in a short timeC. spend about a second finding a way to overcome damageD. maintain their child-like curiosity and keep asking people around for solutionsDSuppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels ofcommunity service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can s hift people’s wish of participation from an internal (内在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external (外在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to conc rete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.32. People volunteer mainly out of ______ .A. academic requirementsB. social expectationsC. financial rewardsD. internal needs33. What can we learn from the Florida study?A. Follow-up studies should last for one year.B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared.C. Strategy training is a must in research.D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.34. What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?A. Individual differences in role identity.B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.C. Role identity as a volunteer.D. Practical advice from researchers.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. How to Get People to VolunteerB. How to Study Volunteer BehaviorsC. How to Keep Volunteers’ InterestD. How to Organize Volunteer Activities第二节（七选五共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题(六)配答案
2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题（六）配答案第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)ABill Javis took over our village‟s news-agency at a time of life when most of us only wanted to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.Every day he opened his shop at 6:00 a. m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill‟s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o‟clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometimes in the afternoon-, the evening paper landed on the doorway, and at 4 o‟ clock Bill reopened his shop. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.He lived in a flat above the ship, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.“What‟s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, "Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right. "I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.21. Bill Javis became a news-agent when ________.A. he need the money.B. he decided to take things easyC. he was quite an old manD. he gave up clock-repairing22. Bill opened the shop so early in the day because ________.A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to workB. the shop had to be open when the morning papers cameC. he was never sure of timeD. it was then that he did a lot of business23. On that sunny afternoon, the writer was surprised when he saw Bill because ________.A. he thought it was late for Bill to be still fishingB. he thought Bill was ill, since he was not moving at allC. Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strangeD. Bill stayed in his flat24. From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?A. The bell was; it must have gone off at the wrong time.B. Bill was; he had dropped off to sleep.C. The writer‟s watch was fast.D. Bill‟s clock was wrong; it was old.BWhen I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.25. After the author quit her job, she decided to ______.A. divorce her husbandB. be a wedding photographerC. pay off all her debtD. go travelling abroad26. What can we learn about the author from the 2nd paragraph?A. She paid money to a car delivery agency for a road trip.B. She realised his dream of becoming a travel photographer.C. She got a job as an editor in a publishing house.D. She finally became a professional blogger unintentionally.27 The author believed her success mainly resulted from ______.A. her personal reasonsB. her photographing skillsC. free marketing for bloggingD. booming of travel industry28.What did the author think of her two years' work?A. Inspiring.B. Appealing.C. Interesting.D. Challenging.CA study has showed that the brain makes decisions about 10 seconds before a person realizes it.Experts involved in the study said that looking at brain activity while making a decision,they could predict the choices the subjects would make, before they realized that they had made a decision. Lead researcher John-Dylan Haynes, a neuroscientist (神经学家)at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, said that the new findings called into questions for “consciousness”of decisions that people make, and might even challenge ideas as to how“free”people are to make a decision at a particular moment.“We think our decisions are conscious, but these data show that consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg,”Nature magazine quoted (引用) him as saying. Thinking the results“quite dramatic”, Frank Tong of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, said that 10 seconds is“a lifetime”in terms of brain activity.During the study, the brains of 14 volunteers were imaged as they performed a decision-making task. The subjects had two buttons before them, each to be operated by a different hand, which they could press when they felt the urge to. They were simultaneously (同时地)shown a stream of letters, which appeared on a screen at half-second intervals (间隔). The volunteers had to remember which letter was showing when they decided to press their button.Upon analysis of the data, the researchers realized that the earliest signal they could catch started seven seconds before the volunteers reported having made their decision. Given the delay of a few seconds in the imaging, they reckoned (估计) that the brain activity could have begun about ten seconds before the conscious decision. The researchers showed that the signals were picked up from a region (区域)called the frontopolar cortex (脑额极皮层),which is located at the front of the brain, immediately behind the forehead.While writing about the observations made during the research in his study report, Haynes said that the frontopolar cortex might be the brain region where decisions are started. He also showed that the next step in the research would be to speed up the data analysis so as to enable his team to predict people‟s choi ces as their brains would make them.29. The passage tells us that ______.A. we are aware of our whole process of decision-makingB. people don‟t make decisions until they realize itC. experts have no way to tell what decision one will makeD. the decision-making process starts before it is made30. The underlined word “subjects”in Para. 2 probably refers to ______.A. the topic of the experts‟ research paperB. the scientific subjects that the experts were studyingC. the things that experts don‟t know clearlyD. the volunteers that the experts worked on for their research31. The underlined sentence“consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg”in Para.3means that ______.A. our decision-making is consciousB. the data contains a lot of information besides consciousnessC. consciousness is the major part of the dataD. 10 se conds is“a lifetime”in terms of brain activity32. The passage implies that ______.A. the research has been completedB. the research was conducted by two expertsC. the decision-making process lasts only about 10 secondsD. we may predict what decisions people will make in the futureDWhat will power your house in the future？Nuclear，wind，or solar power？According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US，it might be leaves — but artificial (人造的) ones.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用)．Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts (催化剂)．Similar to natural leaves，it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell，which uses those two materials to produce electricity，located either on top of a house or beside the house.Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card，scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf w as invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf，by contrast，is made of cheap materials，easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies，Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements come from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful，new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now，the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides，the device can run in whatever water is available；that is，it doesn't need pure water. This is important for some countries that don't have access to pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”，scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used in developing countries，especially in India and rural China.33. Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce electricity?a．artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenb．the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellc．the artificial leaves are put in waterd．the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityA. c，a，b，d B．c，b，a，dC．b，c，a，d D．c，a，d，b34. The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaf is to________.A．build up more power stations in the worldB．provide cheaper energy for developing countriesC．offer people in developing countries access to pure waterD．gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process35．The main idea of this passage is ________.A．an introduction to the history of artificial leavesB．a mixture of water power and solar energyC．giving energy to the poor D．an invention copying photosynthesis第二节：七选五阅读What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More RespectAs teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition (过渡) into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits are not yet accepted as a way of life. _36___ By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.1.

Now that you‟re old enough and capable, why shouldn‟t you contribute to the household? __38_____2. Be responsible__39_____ Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework, or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.3. Solve more of your own problem without asking for helpInstead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first.

2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题(二)配答案
2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题（二）配答案一、阅读部分：AMother and I start our new life in America. In the morning we travel together to work. Rising at the crack of dawn, I love the adventure of tiptoeing around in the dark living room where we sleep, whispering to each other so as not to wake Aunt Celia and Uncle Martin in the bedroom, then leaving the house soundlessly and making our way to the subway station in semidarkness. By the time we reach Kings Highway, the rising day throws a mysterious light on the empty and quiet avenue ordinarily crowded with human traffic, and on the shuttered(有百叶窗的) storefronts and fruit stands now cozily(舒适的) wrapped in layers of canvas(帆布). There is a sense of mystery---a sense of power---in being here before the rest of the world awakens…as if witnessing the beginning of time.We love traveling together on t he subway, Mother and I. It’s fun to observe our fellow subway riders, exchange jokes in Hungarian, play guessing games as to their identities, their ages, and their jobs and make bets as to where they’d be getting off.In a couple of weeks Mother becomes familiar with the train route, and she no longer allows me to accompany her.“But I’ll miss the fun of traveling together in the morning,” I protest.“So will I. But it comes at a sacrifice. In order to accompany me, you must rise an hour earlier, losing an hour’s sleep. You need that extra hour of sleep.” Mother is firm, and I have no choice but to comply and regretfully give up on our morning fun.“I hope you’ll have time to teach me English. Now that I have a job and travel alone on the subway, I’ll need to improve my vocabulary. I don’t want to depend on you every time I need to make a phone call in English, or want to take public transport.”“Okay, madam,” I agree in a happy, joking tone. “How about today? Let’s have our first lesson this evening!”Every evening I ask Mother a lot of questions about vocabulary and grammar, and indeed in a couple of weeks she learns enough to do marketing on her own and travel freely by subway.1. Which detail from the text shows that the author is excited about her life in America?A. Her resistance to the growing independence of her mother.B. Her acceptance of why she can no longer accompany her mother.C. Her description of rising early to ride the subway with her mother.D. Her discipline to work on language lessons every day with her mother2. Which of the following describes the author’s attitude towards her mother?A. Supportive.B. Disrespectful.C. Sympathetic.D. Angry.3. The text is most probably taken from ___________.A. a review of a bookB. a book about one’s life storyC. a travel magazineD. a handbook for foreigners.BWelcome to the world of multitasking---a place where the measure of a person is how many jobs they can perform at the same time. In fact, if experts are to be believed multitasking is a disastrous idea.One of the opponents(反对者) of multitasking is Dr. Clifford Nass, a professor at Stanford University. “People who multitask frequently are less able to pay attention; they are worse at managing their memory,” he said. In his opinion, the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless in some situations, for example, part of doing business in the digital world; but you can’t do serious work like writing, thinking or solving an importan t problem this way. You do worse even as you think you’re doing better. All the time the research points to a simple fact: the brain cannot cope. When you stop midway through composing a report to check an email, you force your brain to stop and regroup. It is like pressing the pause button during a movie, meaning the film takes longer to watch.And according to Dr. Nass, the problems extend beyond the brain. Young people who frequently multitask are not as socially and emotionally healthy as those who don’t. They just feel more emotionally satisfied and the feeling is so good and they are bound to desire it again. Todd Oppenheimer, a writer said, “We’ve become a very short-term society and don’t reward people for taking a lot of time on something.” He fears we may end up losing the next generation of great thinkers. “It’s really unfortunate because the long-term challenges of our world---environmental issues, financial issues---require people to think wisely about the long-term consequences of what they do. And it’s no coincidence that the kind of people who do think long-term don’t multitask.4. According to Dr. Nass, multitasking ________.A. contributes to memorizing various thingsB. may result in losing the next generation of great thinkersC. can be performed using digital toolsD. makes the performance emotionally affected only5. From the passage, we can tell ________.A. we mistakenly believe that we’re doing better by switching between tasksB. multitasking does harm to us in every areaC. for every task you add to your multitasking, you can finish your goal more quicklyD. the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless6. Which of the following is a multitasking addict?A. You watch from start to finish without distraction when playing a DVD.B. You have your office desk covered with paperwork from various unfinished projects.C. You feel that when you try to do too much at once, the result always suffers.D. You turn your cell phone to silence when you are out to dine with friends.7. The author mainly wants to tell us _________.A. it is more efficient to do things all in a mixed wayB. it takes longer for us to become a great thinkerC. we shouldn’t be lazy if we want to accomplish many tasksD. the less you switch, the better you doCAsk someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of areas for burying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.8. What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.9. The author uses figures in Para graph 2 to show.A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging overuse10. According to the text, recycling.A. helps control the greenhouse effectB. means burning packaging for energyC. is the solution to gas shortageD. leads to a waste of land11. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.DTeen Dating can be fun if you are aware of its pros and cons and are also aware of the ways to protect yourself. There are a couple of suggestions you would like to know before you are out for dating.Do not go out for dating with somebody whom you have seen only a few times and does not know much about him or her.Before leaving on a date, know the exact plans for the evening and make sure a parent or friend knows these plans and what time to expect you home. Let your date know that you are expected to call or tell that person when you get in.Similarly, if you leave a party with someone you do not know well, make sure you tell another person you are leaving and with whom. Ask a friend to call and make sure you arrive home safely.No matter how good the person appears to you, trust your inner instincts (直感). If a situation makes you uncomfortable, try to stay calm and think of a way to remove yourself from the situation without letting your date realize what is going on in your mind.Be aware of your decreased ability to react under the influence of alcohol or drugs and keep yourself in control when out for a date.Always stay firm, straightforward and clear in your relationships, thoughts,decisions and judgments. Never let a doubt come to your mind or face when out for dating. If you are firm and clear in your communication, your date will always be careful in dealing with you.You should think ahead about ways to be safe if you are in a dangerous or potentially dangerous relationship. Adults, like parents, teachers, counselors, can be trusted in such cases.12．Which of the following is forbidden when dating according to the passage?A．Going out for dating with a stranger.B．Knowing the plan for the evening.C．Telling your parents about the date.D．Telling the person you date that your parents know about the date.13．The underlined word “date ” in the third paragraph might mean ________.A．a time B．a plan C．a person D．a place14．If you feel uncomfortable, you should NOT _______.A．leave as soon as possible B．tell your date what you are thinkingC．stay calm D．trust yourself15．The best title for this passage might be .A．Be careful with your friends B．Never go out datingC．Safety measures for teen dating D．Dating out is always dangerous七选五Learn to Perfect Your Email Writing SkillsEmail is a double-edged sword．16．Here are some suggestions you need to know about writing emails in a professional setting.●Focus on the receiverBe clear about why you are emailing this person；briefly state it at the beginning. At the end of the email，also let them know that you’re available to be of help to them．●17If you foresee the information the receiver wants to know，you’ll remove the need for more emails．To be comprehensive，think of who，what，when，where，why，and how for each point you want to make．Use bullet points(项目符号)，lists，or separate short paragraphs to highlight information，and remember to include attachments mentioned in the body of the email．●Be accurate and specificThis tip applies to the body of the email and the subject line，which should never be blank．Include double-cheek dates，times，and names．Firstly，clarify time zones．18．●Be free of grammatical mistakesDon’t rely only on the spelling and autocorrect function．19．Then re-read your email．●Use the proper tone20．Are you being too demanding，inflexible，formal or informal?

高三英语寒假作业专题02形容词和副词(学)
高三英语寒假作业专题02 形容词和副词（学）形容词和副词形容词与副词是高考考查的热点, 高考英语中单项填空、语法填空、短文改错、完形填空、书面表达，任何一项题目中都有可能涉及到形容词等级、辨析和在句中的位置。
关于形容词与副词这一考点，主要考查以下几个方面：在具体的语境中考查不同形容词意义的区别；考查形容词做状语；考查比较级的用法尤其是隐性比较；考查一些习语搭配；与形容词同形的副词与形容词后加ly构成的副词的区别；多个形容词作定语时的排列顺序等。
一、形容词，副词的主要功能1)形容词、副词的功能形容词在句中主要作定语、表语和补语，但有时也作状语，表示伴随原因等。
We find the boy considerate. (宾补)He walked in the snow, cold and hungry . （伴随状语）Afraid of difficulties, they took the easy road. （原因状语）副词作状语主要是用作修饰性状语、评注性状语及连接性状语。
其中后两种状语是现在考查的重点。
He speak English fairly fluently (修饰性状语).Fortunately，none of the them was hurt. (评注性状语)His first response was to say no. Later, however, he changed his mind. (连接性状语)注意：形容词作状语是形容主语的性质，而副词作状语则修饰动词。
如：He walked home slowly.He arrived home safe.二、形容词的位置：1．形容词作定语通常前置，但在下列情况后置：1 修饰some, any, every, no和body, thing, one等构成的复合不定代词时nobody absent, everything possible2 以-able, -ible结尾的形容词可置于有最高级或only修饰的名词之后the best book available, the only solution possible3 Afraid, ashamed, alive, alike, awake, aware,asleep等表语形容词作定语要后置the only person awake4 和空间、时间、单位连用时 a bridge 50 meters long5 形容词短语一般后置 a man difficult to get on with6 个别形容词前置和后置意义不同the members present(在场的，出席的)the present situation(现在的)the concerned parents (焦虑的)the students concerned(有关的)2．多个形容词修饰同一个名词的顺序：多个形容词作定语排列的顺序口诀巧记：限定描绘大长高，形状年龄和新老，颜色国籍跟材料，作用类别往后靠。

At the gathering, a man called Douglas was again and again talking about Lincoln's low position in life and saying that he first met Lincoln when Lincoln was a shop assistant at a village shop. Finally, he said, “And Mr. Lincoln was a very good shop assistant, too.”People burst into laughter, but they quieted down when Mr. Lincoln said calmly, “Gentleman, what Mr. Douglas has said is true. I did sell cotton, candles and cigars, and sometimes whisky. But I remember that in those days Mr. Douglas was one of my best buyers. I often stood on one side of the counter and sold whisky to Mr. Douglas on the other side, but the difference between us is：I have left my side of the counter, but Mr. Douglas still_sticks_to_his_as_firmly_as_ever.”25．The story took place at a ________.A. meetingB.restaurantC. concertD. gettogether26．Why was Mr. Douglas again and again talking about Lincoln's low position in life?A. Because he was friendly to Lincoln.B. Because Lincoln was an example to show that an American of low position in life can become President of the US.C.

He won it by telling of his low position in life in his early days.B. He won it by telling of his high position in life in his early days.C. He won it by saying Douglas was telling a lie.D.

A．Every mother has more free time to do things they like.B．Every child has more chances to express and enjoy themselves.C．Every child can get rid of his or her stuttering.D．Both A and B.第二节（七选五共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ” But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody.

Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a bookgroup.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.29. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B.

A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, cau ght the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, aonetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.33. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure34. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander35. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD. Treasure hunting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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

ADear Alcohol,You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. "I'm so embarrassed," they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit . "I'm sorry," they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. "This won't happen again," they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it's all your fault.I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurtingme, please.Sincerely,Anonymous24. What is the author's purpose in writing to alcohol?A. To introduce Mr. Alcohol to the readers.B. To describe the harm alcohol did to his family.C.

The underlined phrase "were intrigued by" is closest in meaning to ______.A. were familiar withB. were int1`BAlmost five years ago, I announced to my loved ones I was to become a Mrs. Naturally. I then began to wonder about the perfect wedding dress, hoping that it would fit me. Even at the age of 23, I had gone through my share of dieting.I am an emotional eater and I knew that at 5 feet 5 inches tall and 180 pounds, I wasn’t at my healthiest. My mother had been doing Weight Watchers for some time and was rapidly seeing results without starving herself. She shared her books with me and explained the program: estimate your daily target based on your weight and other factors, write down everything you eat and move! The longer I stuck to it the more I noticed a difference in the way I enjoyed food. I soon began to like eating fruits and vegetables for snacks instead of chocolate bars and chips. My mother and I went on walks together and kept each other in check. Unsurprisingly, I lost twenty pounds soon and looked amazing in my wedding dress.I buy healthy foods, replace ice cream and faithfully keep a food journal. I exercised and take evening walks. Because I have a hard time reaching for something healthy by myself, I bought aWeight Watchers cookbook and use it to prepare our meals. I use small plates and bowls to trick myself into believing there is more food than the serving size.It’s been hard to discipline myself not to eat badly. But when I find myself having a desire for strawberries instead of chocolate, I know it’s all worthwhile.21．The author successfully lost twenty pounds ____________．A．by walking and eating less every day B．by only eating fruits and vegetablesC．under her doctor’s direction D．with the help of her mother22．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．How to prepare healthy food．B．The ways of eating less food．C．The role exercise plays in keeping fit．D．What the author does to keep healthy．23．We know from the last paragraph that the author ____________．A．likes strawberries mostB．has formed healthy eating habitsC．can’t resist chocolateD．finds keeping a healthy diet easyCJust three days after hitting the screen across China, the Chinese animation (动画) film “Monkey King: Hero is Back” aroused enthusiasm among audience and ticket sales have exceeded（超过）100 million yuan ($16.11 million).Web celebrities and many fans even posted topics about the film on China’s Twitter-like Weibo, at which heated discussion are sparked.“Monkey King: Hero is Back” is based on the household legend of the Monkey King, but tell s a not-so familiar story. However, it’s still a Chinese style heroic legend and an exciting adventure against evil and darkness in troubled times, according to Lu Wei, the producer.“Monkey King is China’s super hero. It is so popular among Chinese audien ce because they long for and cherish our own superhero,” said Tian Xiaopeng, the director.Some media also put on a lot of comments from foreigners.“He’s never dead, he’s just fallen asleep. We all need a hero to look up to, to give us hope andcourage when it is needed. We grew up listening to his tales, his great adventures and heroic deeds. What makes a true hero is not just helping people when one has the power, but having the courage to stand up against the evil even without power. And this is what the film is about. When the hero loses his power and armor, when he is nothing more than an ordinary monkey, what would he do to protect the one he loves? This is also about a group of Chinese dream chasers trying to keep the beacon of hope lit even th ough being in the most unfavorable situations” from Tumblr.“Though the film was injected with a little bit of Hollywood, its bold and creative story has attracted several Chinese cinema aficionados.” from Yibada.One netizen posted after watching the film: “The film sets a new high-bar for the domestic animation film, when I walked out of the theater, I was crying.”12. According to the director’s opinion, the film is so popular among Chinese audience because_______.A.

Because he wants to __________.A. persuade more readers to visit themB. tell readers some information about themC. make them better known to readersD. provide some evidence for readersDDo you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit?If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who f elt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk(长牙). The fourth, who had hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arm around one of the elephant’s legs.The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own exper ience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm（不冷不热的）water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it’s hot !24.
