Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2014·成都六校协作体诊断)Owning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think. They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are ... but they also turn you into a workaholic, it seems.
A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the
all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your
working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a
year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.
The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have an email-enabled phone, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first email in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight.
Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said，“The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smart phones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smart phones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity.”
1．What can we conclude from the text?
A．All that glitters is not gold.
B．Every coin has two sides.
C．It never rains but pours.
D．It's no good crying over spilt milk.
2．The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be r eplaced by ________.
A．calling B．reaching
C．getting D．using
3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．The average UK working day is between nine and twelve hours.
B．Nine-tenths spend over three hours checking work emails.
C．One fourth check their first mails between 11 pm and midnight.
D．The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 8 am.
4．What's the main idea of the text?
A．Workaholics like smart phones.
B．Smart phones bring about extra work.
C．Smart phones make our life easier.
D．Employers don't like smart phones.
Ⅲ.阅读表达
(2014·乐山高三一调)A long red bridge stretches out across water. It runs across the Golden Gate. This is not the entrance to some sacred (神圣的) land, but it is just as magical. The Golden Gate is where San Francisco Bay meets the Pacific Ocean, and at night the scene of the bridge lit up over the water takes your breath away.
Welcome to San Francisco, a place famous for its beautiful parks, hilly streets and lovely beaches. But the bridge is undoubtedly the most well-known symbol of the city. Before its completion in 1937, the bridge was considered impossible to build because of the foggy weather, powerful winds, and strong ocean currents (洋流) in the city. However, despite the difficult conditions, the bridge was built in no more than four years. Its total length is nearly 2 kilometers.
San Francisco ranks first on Lonely Planet's list of best cities to visit in 2013. According to the world's largest travel publisher, it came top as a result of its cultural mix.
According to the US 2010 census (人口普查), 21 percent of the city's population is made up of Chinese people. San Francisco's Chinatown is the largest outside of Asia and the oldest in North America. Two traditional festivals, the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, are the biggest events of the year on the city's calendar.
If yellow cabs (出租车) are a key part of New York city life, then the cable car (缆车) is San Francisco's equivalent. The first cable car came into public service in 1873, and the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of the city ever since. The cable car network was once damaged by a serious earthquake but, luckily, it has now recovered and provides better views than the subways.

答案
Ⅰ.1.选C句意：“吉姆，你认为我应该接受他的邀请吗？”“为什么不呢？如果我是你，我肯定会接受。

”此处用Why not？表示赞同。

2．选D句意：应该鼓励学生把因特网用作一种资源。

Internet 前加定冠词特指因特网；第二空表示“一种资源”为泛指，前面用不定冠词。

3．选B句意：一些水果含有天然糖分，如梨、甜瓜、葡萄等。

还有一些食物也含有糖分，如蘑菇、葡萄酒和奶酪。

occur in“存在于，出现在”，符合句意。

happen“发生”；contain“包含”；consist in“取决于，在于”。

4．选B句意：这对老夫妇过去住在偏远的乡村里，没有去商店的便捷通道。

access 意为“通路；通道”，符合语境；approach意为“方法；接近”，transport意为“交通运输”，convenience意为“方便”，均不符合语境。

5．选C分析题干可知，TV programmes与design构成逻辑上的动宾关系，且design 这个动作已完成，故用design的过去分词形式作定语。

6．选B句意：你考虑过吗？和火山、飓风和地震相比，人是多么的脆弱。

compared with/to“和……相比”，符合题意。

7．选A你的微笑就是你与新人交往的最强有力的工具之一。

空格处为it作形式宾语，而for you to meet new people为真正的宾语。

8．选A contain强调整体的包含与成分的包含；include强调部分的包含。

20 Japanese 与include之间为逻辑上的被动关系，故用included。

9．选A句意：这道题如此难以至于没有人能提出很好的解决方案。

so ... that ... 引导的状语从句，如果so＋adj./ad v.置于句首时，主句需要使用倒装语序。

come up with“提出，想出”；put up with“忍受”。

10．选D主语是“a series of＋名词”时，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式，且expect 与句子的主语“A series of stimulus policies and supportive measures taken by the government”之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用被动语态。

Ⅱ.
语篇解读：智能手机给人们生活带来各种便利的同时也给人们增加了额外的工作量。

1．选B推理判断题。

根据文章第一段第二句可知，智能手机给人们带来很多便利，丰富了人们的生活，但是似乎也促使人们变成“工作狂”。

由此可见“任何硬币都有正反两面”，即事物都有两面性。

All that glitters is not gold“会发光的并非都是金子”；It never rains but pours“祸不单行”；It's no good crying over spilt milk“覆水难收”。

根据文意可知，B 项正确。

2．选D词义猜测题。

根据第三段第二句的语境可猜测，超过百分之九十的上班族都拥有邮件收发功能的手机，其中三分之一的人每天使用(access)的次数达二十次。

故答案选D。

3．选C推理判断题。

根据文章第三段最后一句可知，四分之一的人在晚上十一点至午夜之间会检查一下有没有新邮件。

故选项C符合题意。

4．选B主旨大意题。

通读全文可知，种种数据表明：智能手机在工作时间之外给人们增加了额外的工作量。

故B项符合题意。

Ⅲ.1.Its beauty, length and the story behind its construction.
2．To introduce the city of San Francisco./Because it's the symbol of San Francisco.
