Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head，according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely t o feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are co ntracting(收缩)and pumping blood around their bodies，compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scient ists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event，depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contract ion and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School s aid：“Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we de al with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fe ar as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel s aid，“The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when t he heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts c an also affect what we see and what we don't see—and guide whether we see fear.”To further understand this relationship，the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how the brai n influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of f ear.“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and red uce fear，” Dr Garfinkel said.“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fea r is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be a ble to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorde rs，and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress d isorder.”1．What is the finding of the study?A. One's fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.B. Fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat.C. Fear has something to do with one's health.D. One's heart affects how he feels fear.2．The study was carried out by analyzing ________.A. volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data from thei r brain scansB. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health co nditionsC. volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible picturesD. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart －brain communication3．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlin ed word “mechanism” inParagraph 6?A. Order.B. Machine.C. System.D. Treatment.4．This study may contribute to ________．A. explaining the cycle of fear and anxietyB. treating anxiety and stress betterC. finding the key to the heart－brain communicationD. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads参考答案1—4、DACB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。

高中英语真题:2016高考英语阅读理解一轮选练（3）【2015高考复习】阅读理解Nowadays women appear to have a positive image of themse lves as safer drivers than men.In a survey done for insurer MetLife,51% of women said they drive more safely.The evidence is on their side：Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for c areless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drun k driving.“Women are on average less aggressive and more l aw abiding (守法的) drivers，which leads to fewer accidents，” the report says.However，not all male drivers share the same opinion.Of the men surve yed by MetLife,39% claimed male drivers were safer.The findi ngs did back them up on one point：automotive knowledge.The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stabil ity control，which helps prevent rollover accidents.Auto safety unavoidably matters to Money.Insurance compani es focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar am ounts of claims，and for now，that mainly includes women.In general，women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men.A stu dy by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rat es are lower for women in most states.Among individual state s，women get the greatest，advantage in Wyoming (where they pay 20% less)，South Dakota and Washington，D.C.，where their insurance costs are 16% lower.“More than 11,900 male drivers died in US traffic accidents in 2009，compared with just under 4,900 women drivers” according to t he study.“Based on miles traveled，men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled ，vs.1.7 deaths for women.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal attack--when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who was on his trapped w ay to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam' s being late--serious illness at home--he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal s peech.Yes, the boss was, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room; everyone was hard at work. S am's supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I'm S am Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, beca me available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"The room exploded in laughter, except that the supervisor ha d to clamp off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam May nard had saved his job--with the only tool that could win, a laugh.Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, g etting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing f ace. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may s tart a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on t elevision are doing more today for racial and religious toleran ce than people in any other forum.1. Why was Sam late for his job?A. Because he was seriously ill at home.B. Because he received an ultimatum.C. Because he was busy applying for a new job.D. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.2. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor.B. Humor is important in our lives.C. Early bird can get the worm.D. Humor can solve racial discriminations.3. The phrase "clamp off" in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. try to hold backB. pretend to setC. send offD. give out4. Which of the following statements can we infer from the pa ssage?A. Many lose life's battles for they are always late.B. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.C. It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work.D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.1、答案解析：答案为D。

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment re cently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycli ng in the home is very important of course. However, being fo rced to recycle often means we already have more material th an we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in th e first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 19 99 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the . In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environ ment. The , for example, is running out of areas for burying thi s unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off gr eenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of th em are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, en couraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. W e have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have l earned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide ran ge of consumer products, which often have far more packagin g than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material w e are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our con sumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.1. What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.2. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show .A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging o veruse3. According to the text, recycling .A. helps control the greenhouse effectB. means burning packaging for energyC. is the solution to gas shortageD. leads to a waste of land4. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.5. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B. Needless material is mostly recycled.C. People like collecting recyclable wastes.D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.【参考答案】1-5 DDACA【2013界广东省汕头市质量监测试题】The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when h e said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs. " He described the inadequacies of his students, all high scho ol graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions ho w this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline（降低）. What the speaker was really saying is that eh is no long er young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation abou t the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also huma n nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth centur y, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language d eficiencies（缺陷）. But since then, English teachers have been under const ant attack.The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. Astheir own command of the language improves, they notice tha t young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that th eir own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the languag e of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English la nguage is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but r ather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be do ing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not have a poor command of English.41. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that ________.A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior t o that t of the older generationB. the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enoughC. he was an excellent language teacher because he had bee n teaching English for sixteen yearsD. English teachers should be held responsible for the studen ts' poor command of English【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。

AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams (1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson (1907-1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakesand oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks (1913-2005)On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.21. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?A. Her social work.B. Her teaching skills.C. Her efforts to win a Her community background.22. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?A. Her lack of proper training in Her little workexperience in court.C. The discrimination against women.D. The poor financial conditions.23. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the ?A. Jane Rachel Carson.C. Sandra Day O’Connor.D. Rosa Parks.24. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A. They are highly educated.B. They are truly creative.C. They are pioneers.D. They are peace-lovers.BGrandparents Answer a CallAs a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yetthere is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by , 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children.”Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.25. Why was Garza’s move a success?A. It strengthened her family ties.B. It improved her living conditions.C. It enabled her to make more friends.D. It helped her know more new places.26. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision？A. 17% expressed their support for Few people responded sympathetically.C. 83% believed it had a bad influence.D. The majority thought it was a trend.27. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?A. They were unsure of themselves.B. They were eager to raise more children.C. They wanted to live away from their parents.D. They had little respect for their grandparents.28. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own.B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.C. Sacrifice for their struggling children.D. Get to know themselves better.C . Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips — of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells (干细胞) in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor (捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you — there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient —please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed (改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1?A. providerB. delivery manC. collectorD. medical doctor30. Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?A. He cannot stay away from his job too long.B. The donor can only wait for that long.C. The operation needs that much The ice won’t last any longer.31. Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A. To To To Providence. D. To Washington.DThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener toconsider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a personin authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder ora person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.32. What does the author say about silence in conversations?A. It implies anger.B. It promotes friendship.C. It is culture-specific.D. It is content-based.33. Which of the following people might regard silence asa call for careful thought?A. The The French. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.B. Break it while treating patients.C. Evaluate its harm to patients.D. Make use of its healing effects.35. What may be the best title for the text?A. Sound and SilenceB. What It Means to Be SilentC. Silence to Native AmericansD. Speech Is Silver, Silence Is Gold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。

The faces the threat of extinction from rising sea levels, but t he government said on Thursday it was looking to the future with plans to build homes and a golf course that float.An increase in sea levels of just 18 to 59 centimeters would m ake the Maldives—a nation of tiny coral islands in the Indian Ocean—virtually uninhabitable by 2100, the UN’s climate change pane l has warned.President Mohamed Nasheed has vowed a fight for survival, and last month he signed a deal with a Dutch company to stu dy proposals for a floating structure that could support a confe rence centre, homes and an 18-hole golf course.“It is still early stages and we are awaiting a report on the prac ticality,” a government official who declined to be named said.The company, Dutch Docklands, is currently building floatingdevelopments in the Netherlands and . There was no immedi ate comment from the firm but its website said it undertook pr ojects that make “la nd from water by providing large-scale floating constructions to create similar conditions as on l and”.The Maldives began to work on an artificial island known as th e Hulhumale near the crowded capital of in 1997 and more t han 30,000 people have been settled there to ease congestio n. The city, which has a population of 100,000, is already prot ected from rising sea levels by a 30-million-dollar sea wall, and the government is considering increasingl y imaginative ways to combat climate change.Nasheed, who staged the world’s first underwater cabinet me eting in October to highlight his people’s serious and difficult s ituation, has even spoken of buying land elsewhere in the wor ld to enable Maldivians to relocate if their homes are complete d covered.He has also promised to turn his nation into amodel for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral” b y 2020. His plan involves ending fossil fuel use and powering all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources such as burning coconut husks.1. Why do you think Mohamed Nasheed chose Dutch Docklands?A. Because it has experience in building floating structure.B. Because it has a good fame throughout the world.C. Because it charged much less than other companies.D. Because it supports building floating structures in the world .2. The Hulhumale was built with the purpose of .A. attracting more visitorsB. making it a new capitalC. making the capital less crowdedD. fighting against climate change3. According to the last two paragraphs, Nasheed is a person who .A.has succeeded in buying land abroad B. is more than well-knownC. has thought more for his nationD. has stopped using fossil fuel4.

What makes a person a scientist？Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others？The answer is “NO”．It is not what the tools that a scientist us es but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist.Yo u will probably agree that knowing how to use the power is im portant to a carpenter (木匠)．You will probably agree，too，that knowing how to investigate (调查)，how to discover information，is important to everyone.The scientist，however，goes one step further，he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his quest ions and that his answer can be confirmed (确认) by other persons.He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the worl d works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact.There is no room forhalf right or right just half the time.He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit.What works under one set of conditio ns sometimes must work under the same conditions at other ti mes.If the conditions are different，any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration (演示) must be explained by the changes in the conditions.This is one reason that investigations are important in science.Albert Einstein，who developed the theory of relativity，arrived at this theory through mathematics.The accuracy of hi s mathematics was later tested through investigations.Einstei n’s ideas were shown to be correct.A scientist uses many tool s for measurements.Then the measurements are used to mak e mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. 1．What makes a scientist according to the passage? A．The tools he uses. B．His ways of learning.C．The ways he uses his tools. D．The different tools.解析：细节理解题。

Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starti ng to find more and more information that suggests a connectio n between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a s cientist at Oregon Health and , studies brain development. Acc ording to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood v essels(血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully develo ped. Doctor Cameron is sure that this allows people who exerci se to think better. As she says, “ while we already know that ex ercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physic al changes in the brain.”The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that requires a lot of movem ent and physical activity show greater brain development than b abies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes i n the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning dis abilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. “Babies need movem ent that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.Older people can develop their brains as well. studied a group of seniors who have a short—term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just t hree hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very diffic ult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too s imple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga o r tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not ha ve been used for a long time. For most people, any type of phys ical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main ai m is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can be nefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How exercise makes people strong.B. How to get good scores on a test.C. How exercise helps the brain.D. How the brain can change.答案解析：答案为C。

Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laug hing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that ever y time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿) it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. Thi s explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk , dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neuro ns not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell u s that there is a biological basis for the way we understand ot her people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use lan guages, and to understand how other people feel. Researcher s have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language.A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the b all”) , the same mirror neurons weretriggered as when the acti on was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hol d of a ball) .Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with soci al and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how the se discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders. Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interac t (互动) . Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物) for neuroscience of what Einstein’s theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in th e cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you’ll understand why.1. Mirror neurons can explain .A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late2. The underlined word“triggered”in the third paragraph probably means“”.A. set offB. cut offC. built upD. broken up3. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons .A. relate to human behavior and interactionB. control human physical actions and feelingsC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. determine our knowledge and language abilities4. What is the passage mainly about?to find mirror neurons. B. Problems of mirror neurons.C. Existence of mirror neurons.D. Functions of mirror neurons.【参考答案】1—4、CAAD社会生活类----阅读理解。
