Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank NoteⅠ.阅读理解A(2017·浙江五校联考)Filled with much housework,meals and childcare at home,many people feel thatbeing at work sounds more like having a picnic.Even for those who have a happy family life,they feel actually more stressed at home than at work.Recently,a study carried out by the researchers at a university in the USA found lower levels of hormone(荷尔蒙) released in response to stress in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women,and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women are more likely to report feeling happier there.Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many.“Paid work is more valued in society,” said Sarah Damaske,the lead researcher on the study,“Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards.Yet none of us,no matter how long we’ve been doing it,ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief.Athome,meanwhile,stress sprea ds and increases quickly.“That’s the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,” Dr.Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to “leave work stress at office” and even to change our mind-set from work to home,for example,a walk around the block.The recent findings,though,suggest our home life,not our attitude,might be due for some change.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人们更愿意在外上班而不愿在家做家务这一社会现象,并对这一现象进行了分析,给出了解决方法。

About Time.BOn November 7, Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing waters of King Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica. He was wearing only his swimming glasses, cap and Speedo!Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas, working to protect these ecosystems with their large diversity of marine life. When asked why he doesn’t w ear a wetsuit (防寒泳衣), Pugh says, “I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular. If I’m asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message.”It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica where the water averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius. He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters before it starts shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature steadily drops, which in turn causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he is done with his swim, his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for his body temperature to return to normal.Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters. Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing waters can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim.This is not the first time that Pugh has swum in dangerous conditions. In 2007, he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to climate change. In 2015, he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica’s Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine reserve there.4. Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit?A. To show his bravery.B. To swim faster.C. To build up his body.D. To have overnight fame.5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. His body temperature.B. His body.C. The water.D. The water temperature.6. What’s Pugh’s advice about swimming in freezing waters?A. One should be expert at swimming.B. One must be used to long-distance swimming.C. One should be ready to take on challenges.D. One must be adequately prepared for it.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Lewis Pugh: achieving the impossibleB. How to survive a swim in cold watersC. Lewis Pugh: swimming for a causeD. How to prepare for extreme swimmingCGirls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence, and the leaders of a group of girls’ schools will argue this week. Helen Fraser, director of the Girls’ Da y School Trust (GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls deal with failure.“All girls, not just the sporty ones, should take physical exercise,” Ms. Fraser says. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues. Ms. F raser will tell the group that she supports “sport for all”. “That’s why I love it when our schools have A, B, C and D teams and beyond,” she says.The GDST draws on research from the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter of girls in England meet basic levels of activity each week. One in five girls does no activity at all, twice the proportion of boys, the research suggests.Ms. Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who once was a skater and tennis player, and the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, who was in the French national swimming team. Ms. Fraser says Olympic medalists like Jessica Ennis and Katherine Grainger are excellent role models for young women but says women’s sport needs more money and more news reports.Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School for Girls, part of GDST, said it was important to offer a large number of sports to attract different types of girls. “Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey,” said Ms. Dunsford.8. Which of the following would Ms. Fraser agree with?A. Boys are born to be sport lovers.B. Girls are less confident than boys.C. More should be done to make girls do sports.D. Those taking part in the sport are always successes.9. What’s the proportion of boys who never take exercise?A. 1/10.B. 1/5.C. 1/4.D. 2/5.10. Ms. Fraser mentions those famous women to show __________.A. hard work will pay offB. it’s not easy to be greatC. sport can help girls to succeedD. it’s necessary to balance work and sport11. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To explain the key to success.B. To show the importance of sport.C. To introduce more sports to girls.D. To encourage more girls to do sports.DWe’ve been told for years that self-driving cars are just approaching. But it’s time to accept the truth, said Darrell Etherington on TechCr unch: they “aren’t going to happen” in our lifetimes.I’ve long been excited about the potential of this technology, but my remaining optimism left me finally last month when Ford and V olkswagen announced they were stopping running Argo AI, their autonomous driving tech joint firm. Argo was considered a leader in the field. But Ford feels that “producing profitable, fully autonomous vehicles on a large scale is a long way off”, and it could no longer stomach the increasing costs. This is just the latest setback.It is true that General Motors is making progress in trialing driverless vehicles on the roads, but only on a small scale. Tesla is pushing ahead with its self-driving technology, but its ambitions can be limited by an investigation that is looking into some accidents inv olving its “Autopilot” system. Some of the firmest believers in self-driving technology have turned nonbelievers. State-of-the-art robot cars still “struggle” with construction sites, road blocks, and sometimes even simple left turns.I recently took a ride in a self-driving taxi in the city of Chandler, Arizona. There was an undeniable horror-movie aspect of sitting in the back of a vehicle and watching the steering wheel turn autonomously. To my relief, it slowed when other vehicles behaved improperly. I was just about to feel relaxed and text a co-worker when the taxi came to a sudden stop at one point. A truck stopped in front of us and wanted to go backwards in order to take a missed turning. Unclear about what to do next, the taxi “chirped (吱吱叫) to call a human specialist to solve the situation”. Fortunately, the truck driver decided to drive on and we continued our way. My driverless experience made me believe this technology may never be possible to make passengers relaxed when they are in a driverle ss vehicle. Even so, I won’t undervalue the technological advances that have been made— after all, who knows what the future will look like.12. What can we infer from Darrell Etherington’s words?A. Self-driving cars will be replaced by other technology.B. Self-driving cars will change our travel mode.C. Self-driving cars are approaching us.D. Self-driving cars are just a dream now.13. What does the underlined word “stomach” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A. Endure.B. Reduce.C. Regain.D. Remove.14. Why are General Motors and Tesla mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. To state self-driving technology has made big progress.B. To prove self-driving technology has a long way to go.C. To show self-driving technology is totally impractical.D. To stress self-driving technology has great potential.15. What is the author’s attitude towards the self-driving technology?A. Critical.B. Conventional.C. Favorable.D. Indifferent.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

译林版高中英语选择性必修第三册课后习题 UNIT 3 Back to the past单元提能强化练
单元提能强化练Ⅰ.阅读理解ANew archaeological(考古学的) discoveries suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably began in some form many centuries earlier than once thought.The findings,coupled with a widening range of scientific and historical research could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road.The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy from about 1000 BCE,long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt.Other research may ean activity along this route back evenfurther,perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia.The official origin of East-West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BCE when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission (使命) across the desert into the remote high country of Central Asia.The agent,Zhang Qian,traveled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia and Syria.Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times.His journey opened the way for what has been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient world’s two superpowers,China and Rome.Chinese silk,first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs,was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the lue.But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road.The research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia.1.Which could best be replace d by the word “coupled” in the first paragraph?A.Produced.B.Contributed.C.Doubled.bined.2.What does the silk thread found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy suggest?A.Egyptians had probably traveled to China to buy silk.B.Trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thought.C.Historical research often achieves fascinating results.D.New light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices.3.What did most historians believe the trade along the Silk Road until recently?A.The trade originated in the 2nd century BCE.B.The trade ean migration into eastern Asia.C.The trade began a million years ago.D.The trade primarily benefited the Egyptians.4.Why have historians always considered Zhang Qian’s mission important?A.Because they believe he brought back knowledge of Rome to the emperor.B.Because they believe he discovered the Silk Road.C.Because they believe he helped establish East-West trade.D.Because they believe he traveled as far as Afghanistan.BA newly discovered lizard found in the Philippines has made scientists think there might be other never-before-seen creatures on that country’s islands.But scientists say those creatures might never be found because the islands’ rain forests are in danger.The latest lizard was first spotted in when scientists saw local people of the island catch it for food.Scientists took some pictures of the lizard.Finally scientists caught a lizard themselves to study.They named the new lizard the Northern Sierra Madre forest monitor because it w as discovered in the islands’ Sierra Madre Mountains.The 6.6-foot-long lizard has bright yellowmarkings that distinguish it from more boring-looking monitors.Its legs are mainly yellow,and its tail is black and yellow.So how could scientists work in the Philippines’ rain forests for years without finding the new lizard?They say the Northern Sierra Madre forest monitor is unlike other lizards and their larger cousin,the Komodo dragon.All of those lizards are meat-eaters.But the new-found lizard eats fruit.That means it never has to come down out of the trees.Its uniquely colored skin,quiet manner,and treetop home helped it remain hidden from scientists’ view for many years.The discovery of the Northern Sierra Madre forest monitor is making scientists reali ze that Philippines’ rain forests may hold many undiscovered species.But those species will not be found if the rain forests keep disappearing.Twenty years ago,forests covered about 35 percent of the Philippines’ land.But people have been encroaching on that land and building on it.Today,forests cover less than 25 percent of the country’s land.The rain forests are a “conservation hot spot” that needs to be protected,scientists say.“I hope we can make the new lizard a‘poster child’ for conservation of the land,” said one scientist.5.What is the scientists’ attitude to finding more new creatures in Philippines’ rain forests?A.Interested.B.Doubtful.C.Excited.D.Supportive.6.How did scientists discover the new lizard?A.They caught one with the help of the locals.B.The locals gave one to scientists as a gift.C.They found it from pictures taken by the locals.D.They noticed it when the locals hunted the lizard.7.What is special about the new-found lizard according to paragraph 3?A.It is a cruel meat-eater.B.It is the largest lizard in Asia.C.It spends most time in trees.D.It looks like the Komodo dragon.8.What does the underlined phrase “encroaching on” mean?A.Invading.B.Protecting.C.Maintaining.D.Deserting.Ⅱ.完形填空I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it.My parents

高考英语阅读强化训练带参考答案
高考英语阅读强化训练带参考答案高考英语阅读专项训练1：Vacations are a chance to take a break from work, see the world and enjoy time with family. But do they make you happier?Researchers from the Netherlands set out to measure the effect that vacations have on overall happiness and how long it lasts. They studied happiness levels among 1,530 Dutch adults, 974 of whom took a vacation during the 32-week study period. The study showed that the largest lift in happiness comes from the simple act of planning a vacation. In the study, the effect of vacation anticipation lifted happiness for eight weeks.After the vacation, happiness quickly dropped back to baseline levels for most people. How much stress or relaxation a traveler experienced on the trip appeared to influence post-vacation happiness. There was no post-trip happiness benefit for travelers who said the vacation was “neutral” or stressful.”Surprisingly, even those travelers who described the trip as “relaxing” showed no additional jump in happiness after the trip. “They were no happier than people who had not been on holiday,” said the lead author, Jeroen Nawijn, tourism research lecturer at Breda University. The only vacationers who experienced an increase in happiness after the trip were those who reported feeling “very relaxed” on their vacation. Amongthose people, the vacation happiness effect lasted for just two weeks after the trip before returning to baseline levels.One reason vacations dont increase happiness after the trip may have to do with the stress of returning to work. And for some travelers, the holiday itself was stressful. “In comments from people, the thing they mentioned most referred to disagreements with a travel partner or being ill,” Mr. Nawijn said.The study didnt find any relationship between the length of the vacation and overall happiness. Since most of the happiness boost comes from planning and anticipating a vacation, the study suggests that people may get more out of several small trips a year than one big vacation, Mr. Nawijn said.51. Whats the best title for this passage?A. Post-vacation happinessB. Pre-vacation planningC. Influence to vacationsD. Research on vacations52. The study implies that _________.A. The longer the vacation is, the happier the travelers will be.B. The better you get your vacation planned, the more happiness you will get.C. It will make you happier if you divide a big vacation into small ones.D. None of the travelers were happier than those who had not been on holiday,53. Which of the statements is not mentioned in the passage?A. People never have additional jump in happiness after the trip.B. For most people, happiness quickly dropped back to baseline levels after the vacation.C. The largest lift in happiness comes from the simple act of planning a vacation.D. Vacations are a chance to get relaxed from work.54. Which of the following is NOT the reason for not increasing happiness after a trip?A. You got different ideas with your partners on holiday.B. You caught a bad cold during the trip.C. The worry about whether could return to work or not.D. The holiday itself could get you stressed.55. During the 32-week study period _______of the people involved tooka vacation.A. about one secondsB. about two thirdsC. more than one thirdD. less than three fifth阅读专项训练参考答案：51-55 ACACB高考英语阅读专项训练2：Dieters are often advised to stop drinking alcohol to avoid the extra calories lurking in a glass of wine or a favorite cocktail. But new research suggests that women who regularly consume moderate amounts of alcohol are less likely to gain weight than nondrinkers and are at lower risk for obesity (fatness).The findings, reported this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine, are based on a study of 19,220 United States women aged 30 to 40 who fall into the “normal weight” based on their body mass index. Researchers at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston tracked the womens drinking habits over 13 years. About 60 percent of the women were light or regular drinkers, while about 40 percent reported drinking no alcohol.Over the course of the study, 41 percent of the women became overweight. Although alcohol is packed with calories, the nondrinkers in the study actually gained more weight over time: nine pounds, on average, compared with an average gain of about three pounds among regular moderate drinkers. The risk of becoming overweight was almost 30 percent lower for women who consumed one or two alcohol drinks a day, compared with nondrinkers.The findings are certain to be confusing for women who continue to receive conflicting messages about the health benefits and risks of alcohol. Although moderate drinking is associated with better heart health, regular drinking also increases breast cancer risk.The trend toward less weight gain among drinkers doesnt appear to hold true for men. A 2003 study of British men showed that regular drinkers gained more weight than nondrinkers. Studies suggest that drinking alcohol has different effects on eating habits among men and women. Men typically add alcohol to their daily caloric intake, whereas women aremore likely to substitute(替代)alcohol for food. In addition, there may be differences in how men and women metabolize(代谢)alcohol. Metabolic studies show that after men drink alcohol, they experience little if any metabolic change. But alcohol appears to slightly speed up a womans metabolism.The findings dont mean women should rush to drink alcohol to lose weight. Other research shows that once a person is already overweight, her alcohol metabolism is more efficient, and so an overweight woman may gain more weight from alcohol than a lean woman. The data do, however, suggest that for many women facing weight problems, the extra calories are probably not coming from alcoholic drinks.41. According to the study, which of the following regular drinker is less likely to gain weight than nondrinkers?A B C D42. That men regular drinkers gained more weight than women regular drinkers is due to the following except ______.A. Women are more likely to substitute alcohol for food.B. Men drink alcohol much faster than women.C. Men and women metabolize alcohol differently.D. Men have different effects on eating habits with women.43. The underlined word whereas may probably mean _______.A. so thatB. in order thatC. butD. and then44. What do the findings really mean in this passage?A. Women should try to drink alcohol to lose weight.B. To advise to stop drinking alcohol to avoid the extra caloriesC. The extra calories may not come from alcoholic drinks for many women..D. There may be differences in how men and women metabolize.45. What can a dieter probably do before reading this passage?A. Rush to drink alcohol to lose weightB. Add alcohol to his or her daily caloric intake.C. Face the weight problems alone.D. Try to stop drinking any alcohol or wine.阅读专项训练参考答案：41-45 ABCCD。

Word文档，精心制作，可任意编辑2019版高考英语阅读理解一轮提升选练（3）李仕才AThe story of Sir Nicholas Winton is the one that you would imagine could only happen on the silver screen. Sir Nicholas Winton was a British man who went to heroic efforts, potentially putting himself at risk, during World War II. Sir Winton was responsible for ensuring the safety of six hundred and sixty-nine Jewish children by aiding their escape from countries occupied by Nazis. Finally, the Jewish children were brought to England where he worked to make sure families in his native country would help the kids by taking them into their homes.Recently, this unbelievable story has again been making the rounds on the Internet, particularly after a rerun of the BBC show called “That’s Life”, which featured Sir Winton. People around the world were moved at the details of the story, with saying it to be the best story they’ve ever seen.Sir Winton kept his entire plan completely secret, even his wife had no idea about his planning until fifty years later. After the war, years passed and many people remained in the dark about Sir Winton’s extraordinary achievement. Some fifty years later, his wife Greta was searching in their house and discovered a Winton’s notebook which documented the names of all the children. She worked with BBC and they produced a TV episode (插曲) of their program “That’s Life” that served as an honor for Sir Winton’s work.In 2003, Sir Winton was knighted by the Queen of England for his work. He also was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. He also had a small planet named after him by Czech astronomers. Sir Winton died peacefully in his sleep at the old age of one hundred and six, in 2015. Leaders around the world paid tribute (悼念). Israel’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Daniel Taub, said, “He was a hero of our time, having saved 669 Jewish children from Nazis. His story, as a pointof light in a period of darkness, will forever be remembered.”1.What happened to the 669 Jewish children?A. They were killed by Nazis.B. They returned to their own homes.C. They fled to their native countries.D. They were raised by English families.2.What made Winton’s story spread widely?A. People’s chatting online.B. The program “That’s Life”.C. His wife’s promotion.D. Praises from some leaders.3.Which of the following can replace the underlined expression “remained in the dark’, in Paragraph 3?A. felt doubtfulB. remained movedC. knew nothingD. criticized something4.What do we know about Winton?A. He was born in 1909.B. Nazis tried to arrest him.C. He named a small planet.D. Many children paid tribute to him.【文章大意】文章主要讲述Sir Nicholas Winton在纳粹期间帮助669个犹太孩子逃到英国的故事。

Unit 3 A taste of English humour李仕才***阅读理解。
What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stor es, customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar shops(实体店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.Now, a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.1. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A.Friendly assistant.B.Unique scents.C.Soft background musicD.Attractive window display.2. E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ .A. show the advantages of brick-and-mortar storesB. urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC. push stores to use sights and soundsD. introduce the rise of e-commerce3. Which statement would the writer agree with?A.Put different shop on the products on display.B.Ask every shop assistant to wear light perfume.C.Place fragrant flowers in the shopD.Expose some coffee bean to air inside a coffee shop.4. The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .A. compare and evaluateB. examine and assessC. inform and explainD. argue and discuss【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

However, their lives were turned upside down when they discovered the jawbone of a Mastodon (齿乳象).Brothers Shawn and Caid Sellers and cousin Michael Mahalitc found the prehistoric bone in a piece of earth that was recently plowed (犁、耕). “I thought it was a log,” Caid said. “I tried to pick it up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it.” The bone weighed about 50 pounds. They eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective strength, might and a golf cart, to carry the large Mastodon bone.“They didn’t expect to find that,” Michael’s mom said. “Now that they h ave, I believe that they will be more aware of their surroundings and what they’re digging up when they are digging and playing.”“We’ve gotten a lot of petrified (石化的) wood and Civil War relics from the area and that’s what I thought it was,” the brothers’ mother said. “This is our first set of teeth we’ve found. So we thought it was their imagination. We were quite surprised to see that it was not their imagination.”They were exploring near the brothers’ home. Lo and behold (真想不到), they saw what they thought resembled a fossil. It was the curator of paleontology (古生物负责人) of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, George Phillips, who first identified the bone as a “very mature individual.”The Mastodon was a mammal who lived during the prehistoric times. They had long tusks and trunks, like elephants. They were clearly different from their modern-day counterparts, as well as woolly mammoths (猛犸).24. How did they find the jawbone of a Mastodon?A. With great efforts.B. By chance.C. Instructed by an expert.D. Through imagination.25. At first the brothers’ mother thought the jawbone was________.A. from people who died in the Civil WarB. the bone from a very mature individualC. like a log or somethingD. the prehistoric bone26. The discovery of the jawbone of a Mastodon is important mainly because it________.A. helps people to know more about the Civil WarB. teaches kids to be more aware of their surroundingsC. promotes the research on more prehistoric creaturesD. attracts the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science27. Which of the following can be the best title for the article?A. Prehistoric Bones Recently Found in MississippiB. Not Petrified Wood Nor Civil War RelicsC. First Identifying Bone as a “Very Mature Individual”D. Unexpectedly Discovering Mastodon JawboneCWith the explosion of consumer choices in recent history, the latest must-haves would surely need to be upgraded more often than every 10 years. In 2002 a computer and basic mobile phone would have been enough for most people, but now? The public need a trendy notebook computer and a smart phone with WiFi connection to feel they are up-to-date. So when will we have enough things? When will we finally be happy? Well, it looks like the things we buy today will barely keep us satisfied for a few months.In the eyes of some psychologists, far from making us happy, greater consumer choice creates many serious psychological problems. A fundamental principle of the society is that more freedom is better and more choice in the marketplace means more freedom. Therefore more choice leads to more happiness. This is not the case, however.Imagine you go to a café offering chocolate and vanilla ice cream. You choose the chocolate and eat it happily. But what if the café serves 50 kinds of ice cream? You choose chocolate and then start to worry, “maybe blueberry would have been better, perhaps the half-fat ice cream would have been healthier. Stupid me, all these choices and I didn’t make the best one! ”In China’s m ajor cities we have now passed the point where more consumer choice is making us happier. We are annoyed by all the options we have, disappointed because our expectations are so high and angered at ourselves when we don’ t make a perfect choice every time.A newspaper reporter tells a story about traveling on a plane with high-speed Internet access. He thought this was amazing—the newest piece of technology he had heard of. Then the service went down. The man next to him was angry and swore. The reporter th ought, “How quickly the world owes him something he knew existed only 10 seconds ago!”28. What is the text mainly talking about?A. Hi-tech and consumer needs.B. Computers and smart phones.C. Wireless products and WiFi connection.D. Diverse choices and consumer satisfaction.29. What may some psychologists think of the consumer demand in the café?A. The consumer has mental problems.B. More choice means more freedom.C. Variety leads to unhappiness.D. The shop provides too many choices.30. Why was the man next to the reporter quite annoyed?A. The net connection was interrupted.B. Someone owed him money.C. The air hostess offered poor service.D. The pleasure lasted only 10 seconds.31. What does the underlined word “swore” in the last paragr aph probably mean?A. Fell asleep.B. Said rude words.C. Made promises.D. Became amazed.DWhat will higher education look like in 2050? That was the question addressed Tuesday night by Michael Crow, president of Arizona State University.“We’re at the end of the fourth wave of change in higher education,” Crow began, arguing that research universities followed the initial establishment of higher education, public colleges, and land-grant schools in the timeline of America.In less than a half-century, he said, global market competition will be at its fastest rates of change ever, with several multi-trillion-dollar economies worldwide. According to a recent projection, the nation’s population could reach 435 million, with a large percentage of those residents economically disadvantaged. In addition, climate change will be “meaningfully uncontrollable” in many parts of the world.The everyday trends seen today, such as declining performance of students at all levels, particularly in math and science, and declining wages and employment among the less educated, will only continue, Crow maintained, and are, to say the least, not contributing to fulfilling the dream of climbing the social ladder mobility, quality of life, sustainable environment, and longer life spans that most Americans share.“How is it that we can have these great research universities and have negative-trending outcomes?” Crow said in a talk “I hold the universities accountable. … We are part of the problem.”Among the “things that we do that make the things that we teach less learnable,” Crow said, are the strict separation of disciplines, academic rigidity, and conservatism, the desire of universities to imitate schools at the top of the social ranks, and the lack of the computer system ability that would allow a large number of students to be educated for a small amount of money.Since 2002, when Crow started being in charge at Arizona State —which he calls the “new American university” — he has led more than three dozen initiatives that aim to make the school “inclusive, scalable, fast, adaptive, challenge-focused, and willing to take risks.”Among those initiatives were a restructuring of the engineering and life sciences schools to create more linkages between disciplines; the launch of the School of Earth and Space Exploration and the School of Sustainability; the start of a Teachers College to address K-12 performance and increase the status of the Education Department at the university; and broadened access, increasing the freshman class size by 42 percent and the enrollment of students living below the poverty line by 500 percent.Universities must start, Crow noted, “by becoming self-reflective architects, figuring out what we have and what we actually need instead of wh at legend tells us we have to be.” Researchuniversities today have “run their course,” he added. “Now is the time for variety.”During a discussion afterward, Crow clarified and expanded on some of his points. He discussed, for example, the school’s dista nce-learning program. “Nearly 40 percent of undergraduates are taking at least one course online,” he said, which helps the school to keep costs down while advancing interactive learning technologies.He said that Arizona State is working to increase the transfer and completion rates of community-college students, of whom only about 15 percent, historically, complete their later degrees. “We’ve built a system that will allow them to track into universities,” particularly where “culturally complex barriers” beyond finances limit even the most gifted students.32.The fourth wave of change in America’s higher education refers to _______.A. public collegesB. land-grant schoolsC. initial higher educationD. research universities33. Which is NOT part of the American dream most people share?A. People enjoy a quality life.B. People live longer and longer.C. The freedom to move around.D. An environment that is sustainable.34. Which is an initiative adopted by Crow at Arizona State University?A. Restructuring the teachers College.B. Launching the School of Life Sciences.C. Ignoring the linkages between disciplines.D. Enrolling more students from poor families.35. With the distance-learning program, Arizona State University is able to ______.A. enroll 40% of its students onlineB. provide an even greater number of coursesC. attract the most gifted students all over the worldD. keep costs down without a loss of quality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。

Text 1.Well, it wasn’t what I’d planned to do. In fact, I was never particularly interested in kids. When I was little, I quite liked the idea of being a doctor. You know, walking around in a white coat, looking important and of course my parents wanted me to go into the bank like them. But then, after school, I worked abroad for one year. And I discovered I actually enjoyed working with the little ones and helping them to learn. So I trained. And here I am.Text 2.This is the Captain speaking. Welcome to San Louisa. This plane will land in ten minutes. If your are flying on to Santa Maria, you may not leave the waiting room. If you are staying in San Louisa, you may exit through the Customs as soon as get your luggage. The next flight to Santa Maria leaves in one hour. Please check the information board inside to see which gate you will need to use to board that flight. It has been a pleasure to fly with you today.

This is your carpet speaking. Hello! Hey. I take a real beating from you and your family every day. The kids track mud all over me. The dog leaves a lot of fur balls everywhere. You spilt coffee the other day while entertaining guests, and your husband left some potato chip crumbs last night while watching the football game. Don’t you think it’s about time to give me a good cleaning?Now pick up that phone and call Master Cleaners now. I see them on the TV all the time. They’ll clean any three rooms for $30, and any connecting hall is free. And if you call now, you’ll receive 10% off their already low prices. So come on! Give them a call at 6735001, and make lifefor me a little easier.Text 6.In the next few decades, people are going to travel very differently from the way they do today. Everyone is going to drive electrically-powered cars, so in a few years, people w on’t worry about running out of gas. Some of the large car companies are already working on this new technology. F&C Motors, a major car company, for example, is holding a press conference next week. After the press conference, the company will show its new electronically-operated models. Transportation in the future won’t be limited to the ground; many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky. In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news repo rts will talk about traffic jams in the sky. The sky isn’t the limit. In the future, you will probably even be able to take a trip to the moon. Instead of listening to regular plane announcements, you will hear someone say: the spaceship to the moon leaves in 10 minutes. Please check your equipment. And remember no more than 10 ounces of luggage are allowed.Text 7.Both John and Sue started to work in a successful firm in New York in the same year after they had just graduated from a nearby college. They were delighted to be hired by one of the best firms in the city. John’s first project was to help a client sell a new game on the market. At the beginning Sue was required to work with a sportswear company to design new clothing. As time passed, they felt that their tasks became more and more difficult. Finally John and Sue realized that they had been working with two of the toughest clients in town. Although John completed his job quickly and successfully, he was very angry when he learned that the boss had assigned him a difficult client on purpose. As a result, he not only complained to his colleagues but also to the boss’s secretary. Sue, on the other hand, had a more difficult time satisfying her first client and she took several more months to complete the task. However, she just laughed when she heard that the boss had made the assignment deliberately. Over the next two years, John worked unwillingly with each assignment. Sue accepted each assignment cheerfully. And when problems came up, she would say “No problem, I can handle it.” Although Sue took a longer time to complete her projects than John and both were equally successful on the assignments they completed, Sue got promoted first when there came a vacancy.[参考答案]http//1.
