2016高三英语模拟卷（一）第二部分阅读理解(共20题，每题2分，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

AWhile income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症).In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.21. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _______.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children22. If young people go abroad, _________.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right23. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”BWhen people were building houses, they used to consider not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜).During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source ofheat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.24. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A.The climate of their areas.B.The energy for their houses.C.The fashions for their houses.D.The building materials for their houses.25. People in some areas gain a source of heat by ________.A.keeping their livestock downstairsB.protecting their livestock from the coldC.sharing their houses only with their cowsD.living on the second floor with their livestock26. The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.A.heat raises the temperature in the housesB.heat goes in the upward directionC.heat goes up if temperature is raisedD.heat increases the temperature of rocks27. From the passage, we can conclude that ________.A.people will no longer consider building materials in the futureB.almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksC.energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the futureD.energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technologyCPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.A VOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAY AW AY FROM THE STA TION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don’t be too choosy about th e part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city center buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with rooms for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmers that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transportor car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmers are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).28. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________.A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plansD. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation29. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat ________.A. lies on the ground floorB. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for touristsD. costs over £100 on average per day in late September30. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________.A. half an hourB. one hourC. one hour and a halfD. two hours31. The main purpose of the passage is _______.A. to tell visitors how to book in advanceB. to supply visitors with hotel informationC. to show visitors the importance of self-helpD. to offer visitors some money-saving tipsDArt is considered by many people to be no more than a decorative means of giving pleasure. This is not always the case, however, at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose.According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or a physical illness has in some way disturbed or get in touch with the supernatural--perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or the dead. To break away f rom this, the ill person or one of his relatives will employ a medical man called a “singer” to perform a curing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the “singer” will produce a sa ndpainting on the floor. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sandpainting and the “singer” will rub the sick or injured parts of the patient’s body with sand from a specific figure in the sandpainting. In this way the patient absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong. After the ceremony, the sandpainting is destroyed so its power won’t harm anyone.The art of sandpainting is handed down from old “singers”. The materials used are easily found where the Navaho settle: brown, red, yellow, and white sandstone, which is ground(研磨) much as corn is made into flour. The “singer” holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his fingers onto a clean, flat surface on the floor, with a steady hand and great patience. He is thus able to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system. The traditional Navaho doesn’t allow copying sandpaintings, since he believes the supernatural po wers that taught him the craft have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft.32. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Navaho IndianB. The Ancient “Singer”C. Functions of ArtD. The Navaho Sandpaintings33. How did the “singer” treat the patient according to the passage?A. By passing his supernatural power on to the patient.B. By applying a magic substance to the patient’s body.C. By rubbing the patient’s sick parts with sand from a sandpainting figure.D. By destroying the sandpainting figure.34. The traditional Navaho does not allow copying of sandpaintings because _______.A. anything copied has no effectB. the craft only belongs to the supernaturalC. it’s against Navaho belief systemD. the copying may do harm to other Navahos35. That the reproductions of sandpaintings are now commercially available shows ________.A. people have realized the artistic value of sandpaintingsB. patients have benefited from the powerful effect of sandpaintingsC. more people have come to believe in supernatural powerD. modern technology has helped the production of sandpaintings第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高中英语真题：学2016届高三第三次模拟考试英语试题Word版.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.The International Voluntary Service runs a number of Youth Exchanges throughout the year. Youth Exchanges give small groups of 4-5 young people the opportunity to take part in volunteering trips abroad for an average of two weeks. These young people are joined by 4-5 young people from 3-4 other nationalities and are a wonderful intercultural experience in a safe environment.Example Youth Exchanges:Youth Exchange 1Location：IrelandOther nationalities：Ireland, Spain, Italy, HungaryTheme: Focuses on the topic of community reconstruction and community activities —exploring how local issues facing our communitiesare connected to global issues.

No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go find a Hoffice near them.On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style(家常饭)or by bringing your own lunch.This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, wherewe are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the worki ng day. ”So Hoffice is not just about sharing space；it's also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.4. Hoffice was started to________.A. change people’s attitude to workB. encourage people to be more socialC. improve people’s working conditionsD. provide a co-working space for free5. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3？A. How people respond to Hoffice.B. How a Hoffice day works.C. What people share at Hoffice.D. What Hoffice means to people.6. Some freelancers’descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they________.A. benefit a lot from the working styleB. work longer than beforeC. expect more people to join themD. can’t be separated from each other7. What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?A. It is becoming increasingly popular.B. It has been around for quite a few years.C. It has created many new job opportunities.D. It is suitable for people from all walks of life.3.Billboard Music Awards of the Year 2015 goes to Taylor Swift, a singer-songwriter, who has shaped and inspired the American music industry with her success.When T aylor Swift first came to public notice, she was a 17-year-old newcomer who loved singing to her own guitar. She was far more enthusiastic than skilled, but apparently threw spark of superb talent.Four years later, Swift has become a multi-awards winner, with the biggest selling albums. For her consummate performance, Taylor Swift wasnamed Billboard magazine’s woman in 2011. She is the youngest artist to receive honors and several Billboard Music Awards, among them Top Country Album for the five-time platinum (白金) selling Speak Now, her third album that was released that year.“Taylor has shown the power of good songwriting with music of styles.”said Bill Werde, Billboard’s editorial director, “And at such a young age, Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for promising artists and young woman everywhere.”Swift is used to breaking chart records and winning honors since her career started. She followed that up in 2008 with Fearless, which established her as a skilled songwriter with several hits, including Love Story, You Belong With Me and White Horse.Not surprisingly, the 6-time platinum Fearless is the most awarded album in country music history in the US and her overall worldwide sales now reach 20 million albums and 40 million songs downloads. Swift has spent the past year on the Speak NOW World Tour in support of her third album, and now she’s getting ready to go further.According to a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine, Swift has so far written about 10 songs for a 2016 album. She said the new album is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult.“They’re sad if I'm being honest.” Swift told The New Yorker. “They’re about my heartbreaks and my moving on. But more importantly, they are about achieving contentment. You’re not always going to be ridiculously happy as you grow up. ”8. As a newcomer in the show business, Taylor Swift was considered to be_______.A. a skilled songwriterB. an outstanding artistC. an energetic directorD. a promising talent9. The underlined word “consummate” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by______.A. confidentB. professionalC. excellentD. different10.What can we learn from the passage？A. Speak Now is Taylor Swift’s third album.B. Fearless marked the b eginning of Swift’s career.C. Swift’s new album is about feelings of grown-ups.D. Swift has gained Billboard magazine’s woman twice.11. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？A. A Rising Music GeniusB. Taylor’s Heartbreaks in GrowthC. An Interview with Taylor SwiftD. Billboard Music Awards in America4.If asked if space exploration should continue, most Americans would give an immediate response either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space exploration. A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no value. Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASN) missions, and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many technologies it provides., The artificial (人造的) heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents resulted from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation (隔热板) in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as those technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.12. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A. By offering analyses.B. By making comparisons.C. By giving some examples.D. By presenting research findings.13. The function of Jaws of Life is to_____.A. save people from traffic accidents.B. do experiments on the space shuttleC. keep houses warm and energy efficientD. separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets.14. In the author’s opinion, space exploration______.A. has changed our life completelyB. costs too much of our timeC. benefits us in many waysD. has nothing to do with us15. What would be the best title for the text?A. Benefits of space explorationB. Is space exploration worth the cost?C. How to make space exploration affordableD. Missions of the NASA space shuttle program二、未分类(共2题)munication has always been one of the basic keys to success. They say great public speakers are born and not made, but there are always some tricks of the trade which will help you in becoming a great orator. 16 Read, Study and LearnReading and studying helps you to learn different words and ways to convey your idea.

It’s because he had that enthusiasm which would spread to other people in a heartbeat. So you must show enthusiasm in what you are speaking about, or it will seem that even you are uninterested in what you have to say.Welcome Questions20 Allow your audience some time to ask you questions.

2016届高考英语冲刺模拟卷(三)

2016高考冲刺模拟卷(三)(时间:120分钟满分:150分)第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

( A )The Tropical Paradise HolidayWelcome to St Anna,our tropical paradise just off the coast of Latin America.You can spend two weeks in our luxury four-star hotel.The cost of your flight is included in the holiday,and you can be picked up from your home by our special airport bus.On your arriving,our coach will be waiting to take you to the hotel.All flights leave from Heathrow on a Monday morning.The Cowrie Hotel is built right on the beachfront,and many rooms have wonderful ocean views.If swimming and surfing are not enough for you,the hotel also offers horse rides on the island,and a discount membership of the golf club.The Rain Forest Adventure HolidayEvery year Broughton holidays offer twelve days of unforgettable adventure in a tropical rain forest.You may have a choice of Borneo,Malaysia,Indonesia,or even to the greatest rain forest of them all,the mighty Amazonian forest.You will fly to our special base camps at the edge of the forest,where you will be given five days of survival training,and talks on the local wildlife.Then you take a bus into the forest.You will have to walk the final five miles to the camp sites to avoid disturbing the local ecology.All of the camp sites have been carefully built to cause the minimal amount of disturbance to the local wildlife.Remember that these adventure holidays take you deep into the wilderness,and they are not suitable for families with young children.Also remember that no more than two dozen guests can stay at any camp at one time,so if you want to go on one of these very special holidays,you will need to book early!21.What can we learn about the rain forest holiday?( )A.Travelers will learn to talk with wild animals.B.Different means of transportation will be used.C.The holiday will end with a survival training.D.Booking early,travelers will get a discount.22.What kind of people will probably choose the rain forest holiday?( )A.People loving water sports.B.People travelling with children.C.People preferring comfortable hotels.D.People concerned with environment and wildlife.23.Which of the following is mentioned in both holidays?( )A.Transportation.B.Price.C.Reservation.D.Departure time.( B )Many people think of the brain as a mystery.They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works.When they do think about what intelligence is,many people believe that a person is born either smart,average,or dumb—and stays that way for life.But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle—it changes and gets stronger when you use it.And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.Everyone knows that when you lift weights,your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time.That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.And when you stop exercising,the muscles shrink and you get weaker.That’s why people say,“Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things,parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.Inside the cortex (脑皮层)of the brain are billions of tiny nerve munication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.When you learn new things,these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.The more you challenge your mind to learn,the more your brain cells grow.Then,things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy.The result is a stronger and smarter brain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains.They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment,with other animals and toys to play with,were more “aptitudinal”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things.24.What’s the main idea of the passage?( )A.Scientists show strong interest in what intelligence is.B.A new study shows the brain can be developed like a muscle.C.Both muscles and the brain are important to humans.D.Intelligence exists in both humans and animals.25.By using such numbers as 20 and 100 in Paragraph 2,the author tries to prove that .A.exercise plays an important role in keeping muscles strongerB.exercise is more important to people than most of the animalsC.everyone can keep healthy if they do enough exercisesD.everyone should learn as many new things as possible26.Like stronger muscles come from exercise,smarter brains need .A.to be well taken care ofB.a good communication between personsC.help from scientistsD.our learning new things27.What does the underlined word “aptitudinal” in the last paragraph probably mean?( )A.Strong.B.Smart.C.Lovely.D.Active.( C )Several years ago I was diagnosed with cancer.It was the most difficult time I have ever faced.I think it was my sense of humor that allowed me to hold onto my sanity (心智健全).Like many people who have gone through chemotherapy(化疗),I lost all of my hair,being bald as a golf ball.I always had enjoyed wearing hats,so I ordered several special hats with the hair already attached.It was easy and I never had to worry about how my hair looked.I have always been a big golf fan.At one point during my cancer treatments,my husband John and I decided to get away from the cold Minnesota winter and took a trip toScottsdale,Arizona.There was a Senior PGA Tour event called “The Tradition” being played,and that seemed like just the ticket to lift my spirits.The first day of the tournament brought out a huge crowd.It was a beautiful day,and I was in heaven.I was standing and watching my three favorite golfers in the world approach the tee box (开球区):Jack Nicklaus,Raymond Floyd and Tom Weiskopf.Just as they arrived at the tee,the unimaginable happened.A huge gust of wind came up from out of nowhere and blew my hat and hair right off my head and into the middle of the fairway(平坦球道)!The thousands of people lining the fairway fell into an awkward silence,all eyes on me.Even my three favorite golfers were watching me,as my hair was in their flight path.I was ashamed! Embarrassed as I was,I knew I couldn’t just stand there.Someone had to do something to get things moving again.So I took a deep breath and out into the middle of the fairway.I took hold of my hat and hair,put them back on my head as best I could.Then I turned to the golfers and loudly announced,“Gentlemen,the wind is blowing from left to right.”They said the laughter could be heard all the way to the nineteenth hole.28.What made the author remain mentally healthy even in her illness?( )A.The Tradition.B.The treatment.C.Her family.D.Her humor.29.The underlined phrase in Para.3 “in heaven” probably means “”.A.scaredB.embarrassedC.puzzledD.excited30.Why did the author go into the fairway to pick up her hat and hair?( )A.To amuse the golfers.B.To give a weather report.C.To have the game restarted.D.To draw others’ attention.31.We can know from the text that the author .A.was fond of wearing hatsB.was an excellent golferC.planned to live in ScottsdaleD.felt worried about her hair( D )Teens naturally ask parents for money for material things and entertainment.But as the need becomes more frequent,why not get a job so you can earn your own money? Working for your own money will give you a sense of accomplishment and the satisfaction of a job well done.Babysitting is a suitable job for teens.They are best suited as a mother’s helper while the mother is working in another part of the house.Babysitting is not a job for girls alone.Boy babysitters are popular with families of boys.Parents rely on friends and neighbors’recommendations.Word of mouth is your best form of advertising.Pet-sitting involves caring for people’s pets while the owners are on vacation or away for the day.A pet-sitter will be responsible for giving fresh food and water,walking dogs and cleaning out cat litter boxes.Although the pet-sitter does not spend the night,he is there often enough to bring in the mail,water plants and take the garbage out.Create a flyer with your name,prices and references,and pass it out to the families in your neighborhood.Yard work can be a seasonal job.Spring cleanup is needed for flower beds and preparing the yard for summer.Summer is the busiest time for yard work with lawn mowing (割草坪),edging and trimming(修剪) bushes.Fall is the time for sweeping leaves and planting seeds for spring.If you live in a northern climate,there may be snow that needs shoveling.Odd jobs can mean a variety of things,including painting,washing the pet,weeding the garden,cleaning out the basement,or helping to serve dinner at a party.Doing odd jobs may be a good match for someone with a busy schedule.Most odd jobs only take a few hours to complete.For more information,please click here.32.What’s the main purpose of the text?( )A.To show teens how to find a full-time job.B.To encourage teens to help with housework.C.To tell teens ways to earn their own money.D.To ask people to provide jobs for teens.33.What can we learn about babysitting?( )A.Babysitting is the best job for teens.B.A babysitter is needed only when the mother is away.C.Parents prefer girl babysitters to boy babysitters.D.Friends or neighbors may be helpful to find a babysitting job.34.A pet-sitter is expected to do all the jobs except .A.feeding and walking a dogB.looking after the house at nightC.bringing in the mailD.taking the garbage out35.The text is most probably taken from a .A.job applicationB.popular magazineC.life websiteD.tourist guidebook第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

( A )A widow’s wish to hear her late husband’s voice again has pushed London’s subway system to restore a 40-year-old recording of the subway’s famous “Mind the gap” announcement.The Underground,or the tube,first opened in 1863,tracked down the voice recording by Oswald Lawrence after his widow,Margaret McCollum,told them what it meant to her.McCollum,65,said she used to frequently visit Embankmenl tube station or plan her journeys around the stop to listen to Lawrence’s voice,even before his death.She was taken aback in November when she noticed it had been replaced by a different voice.“Lawrence was a drama school graduate when he auditioned(试音)for the tube recording.He went on to become a theater actor and then worked for a tour company.For six years after his death,I’d stay on the platform—just sit and listen to it again,”she added.When Margaret approached the tube,she was told it had a new broadcast system and it couldn’t use the old recording anymore.Nigel Holness,director of London Underground,said its staff has been so moved by McCollum’s story that they dug up the recording and gave the widow a copy of the announcement on a CD for her to keep.“ Tube staff is also working to restore Lawrence’s announcement at the station,”he added.“It is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.The tube’s Mind the gap messages,voiced by various actors,have accompanied countless London commuter journeys since the 1960s.Train drivers and staff made the warnings themselves before that.”“I’m very pleased that people are interested in Oswald’s old recording,”Margaret said.“He was a great London transport user all his life.He would be amused,touched and delighted to know he’s back where he belonged.”21.The best title for the passage is .A.Mind Your StepB.Mind Your GapC.A Widow’s WishD.The Tube’s Struggle22.The underlined phrase “taken aback” means .A.disappointedB.amazedC.excitedD.shocked23.Which is the correct order of the events mentioned in the passage? ( )a.Oswald died.b.Margaret approached the tube.c.Oswald auditioned for the tube recording.d.Oswald graduated from a drama school.e.Oswald’s recording was replaced.A.d-c-a-e-bB.d-c-b-e-aC.c-d-a-b-eD.e-d-a-b-c24.What can we infer from the passage?( )A.Oswald was an outstanding actor in London.B.Oswald’s voice is a great comfort to Margaret.C.No recording can be equal to Oswald’s voice.D.The tube always uses recordings to remind passengers.( B )In the past,teachers were limited to what they could do when it came to how they could present lesson plans and information to their monly they would stand in front of a podium and lecture to students about the lesson of the day.Sometimes a teacher might write something on the board,maybe even have students read out loud from a book,yet that would be it.Basically in the past,there was not much interaction(交流) going on between the teacher and the students.Now,teachers have all sorts of choices when it comes to how they can teach their students and it could not have come any sooner.One is actually a whiteboard that is interactive.So not only can teachers display things for their students to see in colour,but teachers can also change up what is being displayed on the screen through the use of a wireless device that is typically in the shape of a pen or laser pointer.To change what is being displayed on the screen,all the teacher has to do is point at the screen using the device and just like that,things are moving.No longer are lesson plans stagnant,but they come to life right before the students’ eyes.Another is a touch pad screen where teachers can actually walk around the room to teach their students.The screens themselves are similar to other name brand touch screens that are almost like small computers.They are extremely handy and perfect for situations where the teacher likes to get up and get going.Along with that,SmartEd Services is a portable audio device that allows teachers to amplify (扩大)what is being said to students.If you want to know more,an easy way to check into all the options that are out there is to simply do some searching online.25.There used not to be much communication in class probably because .A.the teachers had limited knowledgeB.the students liked reading aloudC.teaching technology was backwardD.teaching materials were too difficult26.The underlined word “stagnant” in Paragraph 2 probably means .A.practicalB.inactiveC.fluentD.necessary27.SmartEd Services is a kind of device that .A.follows the teacher in the classroomB.makes the teacher’s voice louderC.helps the students understand betterD.makes the class more interesting28.According to the author .A.technology can make class practical and interestingB.the traditional teaching methods should be given upC.the teachers should get on well with their studentsD.modern science and technology bring us a happy life( C )From the 007 series to Iron Man,cool gadgets(装备)like smart watches and high-tech glasses impress audiences.Now the real world is welcoming them.The world of wearable technology is quietly growing,and it’s planning to take over.Let’s look at some of the gadgets to look out for.HeadwearReading on a bus or while you’re running often makes you dizzy(眩晕的).But with a small wearable device called Run-n-Read,you won’t feel dizzy any more.You can wear it on your headband or your T-shirt.It tracks(追踪) your head movements and then moves the text on the screen of your iPad or other reading device at the same time as your eyes.Though a person standing nearby can see the text jumping up and down,for you the text looks perfectly still.Your head moves,but the words do not.BraceletsWearing a sensory bracelet (手镯) can help you find out where you’ve run,how many calories you’ve burned,how deep your sleep was,and many more things.A few companies have already been producing great fitness tracking devices for some time.But it seems that FitBit will get the most attention in 2015 with its new bracelets,the FitBit Surge.The Surge has an LED touch display screen.This allows you to control your smartphone and see who is calling or messaging you.It also has

They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.”Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said. “I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outsi de. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi.“My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added. “And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’”Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.“I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “I don’t have to.”Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.5. What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?. Two strangers joined her.. Her childhood friends came in.C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner.. Some people held a party there.6. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s.. readers B. parties C. friends D. stories7. What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?A. They live in big cities.B. They are mostly women.C. They come from real life.D. They are pleasure seekers.Cf you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.isiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.here are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for mostapple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.pple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.8.What can people do at the apple events?A. Attend experts’ l ectures.B. Visit fruit-loving families.C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard.D. Taste many kinds of apples.9.What can we learn about Decio?. It is a new variety. B. It has a strange look.C. It is rarely seen now.D. It has a special taste.10. What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3mean?A. A practical idea.B. A vain hope..A brilliant plan. D. A selfish desire.11.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?. To show how to grow apples..To introduce an apple festival.. To help people select apples.. To promote apple research.Dad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”12 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?. News reports. B. Research papers..Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations．13. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?. They’re socially inactive.. They’re good at telling stories.. They’re inconsiderate of others.. They’re careful with their words.14.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?. Sports new. B. Science articles.. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.15 .What can be a suitable title for the text?. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide.Online News Attracts More People. Reading Habits Change with the Times. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。

Cai Kaiyuan, 21, made a different choice. As a graduation gift to himself, he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a remote village in Tibet.Cai, a senior majoring in electrical engineering at Huan Railway Professional Technology College, originally planned to cycle from Sichuan to Tibet. During his journey, Cai’s idea for a different graduation gift to himself began to take shape. ―I did not know beforehand what the journey would mean to me. I just want to gain a unique experience and have pleasure in appreciating the view there,‖ he said.It turned out cycling on a plateau was extremely challenging. And it has kept changing his outl ook on life. Cai’s fingers even became frostbitten while cycling up a 5008-meter-high mountain, where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero. At night, the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times. The lack of oxygen made him feel diz zy and weak. ―At the most serious moment, I felt that my life was on the line,‖ said Cai.However, he also gained something unexpected. At Ya’an, a city in Sichuan, he met a group of tourists who are also university students. A girl called Wu Ling told him that she planned to work as a teacher in a primary school in Tibet after her journey. He was impressed by the idea as she looked slender and weak.It was not until he reached a family-run hotel in Shigatse that Cai’s spirits began to rise. The hotel manager’s two daughters enjoyed talking with him. The kids asked about his experiences on his trip, and showed him the beautiful local lakes. ―They told me that they always liked to talk to guests, as they wanted to improve their Mandarin,‖ he said, ―Their pare nts and many locals can only speak Tibetan.‖Cai was touched by the girls’ story. Their situation is tough and the local people have little chance to learn Mandarin because the schools are short of teachers. ―I want to do something to improve the situation for kids like them,‖ said Cai. His parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him.26．According to the passage, Cai Kaiyuan’s graduation gift to himself is _________.A. to have money for a deposit on a houseB. to travel by cycling from Sichuan to TibetC. to own a new car and marry a slender girlD. to work as a volunteer teacher in Tibetan school27．What words can be used to best describe Cai’s journey to Tibet?A. unique and tiringB. challenging but rewardingC. relaxing but unexpectedD. freezing cold and boring28．The underlined phrase ―on the line‖ in the third paragraph means ― ____________‖.A. in a dilemmaB. making a phone callC. at riskD. very painful29．The purpose of writing this passage is to ____________.A. tell us about an unusual graduation giftB. introduce a dangerous journey to usC. give advice on how to travel to TibetD. encourage us to be a teacher in Tibet30．Which of the followings is NOT the reason for Cai to make his decision?A. He met Wu Ling and was impressed by her plan.B. His parents and teachers persuaded him to go to Tibet.C. He was moved by the kid’s desire to improve their Mandarin.D. A lack of teachers makes the local people have little chance to learn.BLong-time exposure to air pollution can lead to physical changes in the brain and cause trouble in learning and memory, and even anxiety. This is suggested by the results of new research on mice.While other studies have shown the harmful effects of polluted air in the lungs and heart, this is the first to show the negative effect on the brain.The team of Laura Fonken, Randy Nelson, from the Ohio State University, USA, has spread to the brain a previous line of research which found that fine particulate(微粒) matter floating in the air mainly because of air pollution caused by humans, causes swelling in much of the body, and may be related to high blood pressure problems, and some other diseases.In the research Fonken and his colleagues exposed mice to polluted air for six hours each day, five days a week, over a period of 10 months, almost half the average life length of mice.Polluted air contains fine particles created by cars, factories and natural dust. Fine particles of this kind are tiny, about 2.5 micrometers in diameter, or about one-thirtieth the width of a human hair. These particles can go deep into lungs and other organs.The concentration of this particulate material to which they exposed mice is equal to the concentration at which people can be exposed in some polluted urban areas.After a period of 10 months, the researchers got the animals to have a series of behavioral tests. Both the behavior of mice and the results of neurological(神经的) tests done to them show that those within the polluted air had more problems in learning and memory, and higher levels of anxiety.The results suggest that long-time exposure to polluted air can have measurable negative effects on the human brain and can cause a variety of mental health problems. This could have important consequences for those living and working in polluted urban areas.31．The results of new research on mice first suggest that polluted air mainly does harm to .A．normal organs B．lungs and heartC．mental health D．blood pressure32．What harmful effect of polluted air is mentioned in other studies?A．The harmful effect on learning. B．The harmful effect on all the organs.C．The harmful effect on lungs and heart. D．The harmful effect on improving memory.33．The bad effects of tiny particles in polluted air are those Except .A．high blood pressure problems B．making human hair thinnerC．different kinds of diseases D．swelling in much of the body34．From the last sentence we can infer that people living in polluted urban areas .A．are likely to suffer from mental problems B．can measure the negative effect on themC．show little concern for air pollution D．can be exposed to polluted air longer35．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Long-time Exposure to Air Pollution B．Evidence and Concern of Air PollutionC．Measurable Effect on Human Brain D．Mental Problems Caused by Air PollutionCA board game is a game played on a pre-marked surface or ―board‖ according to a set of rules. Board games have been played in most cultures and societies throughout history. Do you think of yourself as a bit of an expert at board games like chess or Go?Maybe you’re not quite as g ood as you think. New research from the University of Manchester and Oxford suggests complex games like these are impossible to learn fully. They may even be too complex for the human mind to understand.Researchers studied two-player games, to try and understand the strategies which people use to make decisions during the game. Some games with two players are simple, with only a small number of possible moves. Players can quickly work out the best strategy but that means the game soon becomes boring.It ge ts more interesting when there are many possible moves. That’s why people are so fascinated by complex board games like chess or Go, or some card games. But what the researchers found was that with difficult games, players find it hard to work out the best strategy and their actions become less reasonable.This research is part of the field called game theory: the study of human strategic decision-making. Much thinking on how people play complex games is based on something called ―the balance point‖, which is when players have a perfect knowledge of what they are going to do and of what their rivals are going to do.When you add more than two players then of course the game becomes even harder to understand. Trading on the stock market is an example of a complex multi-player game.36．Which of the following games belongs to board games?A. footballB. badmintonC. swimmingD. Mahjong37．It can be inferred in the passage that _______.A. the simpler the board game is, the better it isB. people dislike board games for the complex movesC. players are easy to lose patience when in difficult gamesD. it’s possible for people to understand complex games thoroughly38．If players want to get to the balance point, they should ______.A. ask other players to work out the best strategyB. have a good knowledge of the games they are playingC. figure out the next actions of themselves and their opponentsD. come to a quick decision about what to do next by themselves39．In which section can we read this passage in a newspaper?A. CultureB. DiscoveryC. CareerD. Campus40．The author intends to tell us ___________.A. a new research about board gamesB. the importance of playing board gamesC. how the players win board gamesD. how to learn board games fullyDSeptember is an exciting month in every college freshman’s life. For many, it’s the first time that they’ve left home to live in a new environment. But after the hustle and bustle of a few weeks, excitement gives way to a less enjoyable emotion— homesickness.Homesickness manifests itself in many ways. You may miss mum’s cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. All this becomes a fond memory of the past. Homesickness can be a bitter feeling for many students, especially when faced with the challenges of settling into an unfamiliar environment.But remember, you’re not alone. According to a recent BBC article, 70 percent of British college students experience homesickness. In this increasingly globalized world in which people migrate to faraway places for a relationship, education or work, homesickness is a feeling shared by many adults.Homesickness can have similar symptoms to depression and in extreme cases it can develop into a panic attack. As forthe term, homesickness or nost algia wasn’t invented until the 17th century. It was considered a disorder by a Swiss physician, who attributed soldiers’ mental and physical discomfort to their longing to return home, ―nostos‖ from Greek, and the accompanying pain, ―algos‖.Studies in recent years, however, have shown that nostalgia may have some benefits to our mental health. After a decade of surveys and researches, Constantine Sedikides, a US social psychologist, found that nostalgia is what makes us human. He explains that nostalgia c an resist loneliness, boredom and anxiety. Therefore, it’s necessary for college students to learn some ways to overcome the uncomfortable feeling.41．From the first two paragraphs, we can infer that __________.A. homesickness means a fond memory of the pastB. only a few students will experience homesicknessC. homesickness is an enjoyable emotion among freshmenD. college freshmen usually suffer from homesickness after weeks42．According to the passage, we can know that _________.A. homesickness may cause mental diseasesB. homesickness is a feeling only shared by adultsC. homesickness won’t do any good to our healthD. homesickness is also called nostalgia in Switzerland43．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. s ome benefits about homesicknessB. other problems in college freshmen’s lifeC. how to make campus life more meaningfulD. some tips on how to cope with homesickness44．The attitude of Sedikides towards homesickness is _________.A. negativeB. supportiveC. skepticalD. critical45．What is the best title for the passage?A. Let’s embrace homesicknessB. How to fit into the college lifeC. A harmful emotion—homesicknessD. The disadvantages of homesickness第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

( A )The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing.Since 2009,a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world—Little Free Libraries.The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods from which residents can withdraw and deposit books.Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes.Some libraries also have themes,focusing on books for children,adults,or tour guides.In 2009,Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother,who was a devoted reader.When he saw the people of his community gathering around it,exchanging conversations as well as books,he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further.“I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other.” Bol said.Since then,his idea has become a movement,spreading from state to state and country to country.According to ,there are now 18,000 of the little structures around the world,located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe,Africa and Asia.The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries.But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads.The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human.For many people,the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries’main appeal.“A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading;a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his outlook on life,”says the Atlantic article.“Every book is a potential source of inspiration.”21.How do Little Free Libraries get their books?( )A.Citizens shared them.B.Tod Bol donated them. government provided them.D.The communities bought them.22.Why did Tod Bol want to build more Little Free Libraries?( )A.He wanted to promote his idea worldwide.B.He was inspired by the sharing economy.C.They can offer neighbors more chances to talk.D.They are a gift to please his mother.23.Little Free Libraries attract readers most in that .A.they connect strangers togetherB.they are located all over the worldC.they are in various shapes and sizesD.they may give readers a sense of discovery( B )Primary Source Holiday Shopping Night at Ten Thousand Villages Brookline.●Shop for your holiday gifts and give back to Primary Source at Ten Thousand Villages on Friday,December 4! 15% of all sales from 3:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.that day will be donated to PrimarySource.Join us for light refreshments and enjoy beautiful handmade gifts from artisans around the world.All are welcome!Primary Source’ s Holiday Shopping NightFriday,December 43:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.Ten Thousand Villages226 Harvard Street,Brookline,Massachusetts (Coolidge Corner)Download our flyer and tell your friends!Ten Thousand Villages provides vital,fair income for the people from developing countries by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in North America.Learn more and preview toys,home decor,jewelry,and other gifts online.●Can’t join us on Dec.4?

earth provides us with almost everything that we need to eat,sleep,work and entertain.To do all this,we use the earth’s resources.Because some of us have more buying power,they end up using more resources than they usually need.At the same time,we also create a great deal of waste and pollution.So we also need to think about how much land we use to deal with that waste.Then two things happen:first,large numbers of the world’s population get much less resources than they need to live;second,the earth is damaged.The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints.They show whose lifestyles are a burden on the earth and whose lifestyles are not.Because a few people eat up most of the earth’s resources,the majority have to bear the consequences—like pollution.This is the ecological footprints that the earth keeps in its memory.Some years ago,a famous expert,called William Rees,developed this idea of the ecological footprints.Today,this idea has become like a magnifying glass (放大镜).It allows us to see whether we are living lives in a way that keeps the earth in a reasonably good shape.Once the earth goes out of shape,there is no hope for human beings.Countries like the United States and Canada have big ecological footprints.Rees calculated that the average amount of energy and materials consumed by a Canadian is what a land of 4.3 hectares can produce.India has a footprint of 0.4.This means that the energy and materials consumed by an Indian is what 0.4 hectares of land can produce.But if we look more carefully,we will find that even within India,the footprints of the city Indian are much larger than the rural Indian.28.Which of the following is the best title for this text?( )A.Footprints on the earthB.How to protect the earthC.Footprints of wild animalsD.How to reduce pollution on the earth29.Our footprints on the earth refer to .A.the cities we buildB.the cultures we createC.the marks we leave on roads behind usD.the resources we use and the waste we produce30.According to the text,rich people .A.should give more money to the poorB.are using too many resourcesC.are helping the poor to live better livesD.should live in rural areas with the poor31.We learn from the text that Rees .A.put forward the idea of the ecological footprintsB.thought highly of the United States and CanadaC.thought India was an extremely poor countryD.thought rich people made great contributions to society( D )Birds learn how to fly much like a human baby learns to walk:a combination of instinct (本能)and practice.Not all birds are instinctive flyers,however.Flightless birds,such as penguins and ostriches (鸵鸟),no longer have the instinct to imitate their cousins.The newborn of bird species that can fly,such as pigeons and hummingbirds,have a sense that it is a natural pare this to a human baby who instinctively understands that standing upright is a natural goal to achieve.Most birds cannot fly until their muscle structure has had time to develop.At that time,a nest is their entire world.Baby birds are not responsible for food gathering or protection of their nest,so they develop psychological dependence.Parent birds begin to teach their baby birds the importance of flying by remaining a short distance away from the nest during feeding.If the young birds are to survive,they must step away from the nest.Frequently,this means a few hard falls to the ground followed by a long trip back to the safety of the nest.All practice,awkward as it may seem,does teach the baby birds about the mechanics of flight.Falls to the ground become more controlled as the young bird stretches out its wings,and short jumps back to the nest become longer flight.Parent birds continue to encourage them to leave the nest for longer periods of time.Some species even adopt a tough love policy,leaving the baby birds alone to develop their own instincts.After a few weeks of practice and imitation,young birds learn more advanced flying techniques:how to use the wind for lift and how to make controlled landings.Eventually,all of these become instinctive and young birds can start families of their own.For birds,flying is a demanding exercise.Fortunately,many birds have air sacs (气囊)that act as human lungs,and each breath a bird takes is much more concentrated than humans’breath.Birds also have very well-developed pectoral (胸部的)muscles for constant wing movement and a strong heart for endurance.Most birds are actually swimming through the air,using the weight of the air beneath them to keep themselves in the air.32.What birds and human babies have in common is that they .A.have to learn new things to surviveB.are born with some kind of instinctC.have many goals to achieveD.like to imitate their cousins as they grow33.Why do parent birds stay a short distance away from the nest during feeding?( )A.To let baby birds know flying is important.B.To make baby birds more independent.C.To develop baby birds’ muscle structure.D.To make baby birds become brave.34.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?( )A.Body structure that helps birds fly.B.The similarity between birds and humans.C.Difficulties birds might meet when they fly.D.The advantages birds have when they fly.35.What would be the best title for the passage?( )A.Practice makes perfectB.How do birds learn how to fly?C.Birds have an instinct for survivalD.Why do some birds adopt a tough love policy?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。
